[RFC][PATCH] sysinfo: Use timespec64 accessors for calculating uptime

[RFC][PATCH] sysinfo: Use timespec64 accessors for calculating uptime

[John Stultz]

As part of the y2038 effort, convert sysinfo's uptime calculation
to use the timespec64 based accessor.

Uptime isn't likely to ever exceed a s32, so this doesn't actually
bring much in the way of change, but it is done for consistency
sake as we deprecate 32bit internal interfaces.
