[PATCH] pstore: use ktime_get_real_fast_ns() instead of __getnstimeofday()

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>]

I noticed that __getnstimeofday() is a rather odd interface, with
a number of quirks:

- The caller may come from NMI context, but the implementation is not NMI safe
- The calling conventions are different from any other timekeeping functions
- The naming doesn't fit into the 'ktime_get_*()' scheme

This addresses the above issues by using a completely different
method to get the time: ktime_get_real_fast_ns() is NMI safe and
doesn't print a warning when called with the timekeeping suspended,
and we can easily transform the result into a timespec structure. Since
ktime_get_real_fast_ns() was not exported to modules, I also add the
export.

The behavior for the suspended case changes, we now return the time
if we can find it out rather than setting it to zero. We could still
change that but this would require exporting the 'timekeeping_suspended'
to modules.

I'm not trying to address y2038-safety at this point, but plan to
do that later with a more complex patch.

It would be helpful to get this merged into v4.15-rc1, since I have
some other cleanups that depend on this. Please have a look to see if
this makes sense to you.
