Subject: [PATCH] Provide u64 version of jiffies_to_usecs() in kernel/tsacct.c

It's possible that the values used in and returned from jiffies_to_usecs() are
incorrect because of truncation when variables of type u64 are involved.  So a
function specific to that type is used instead.

Diff'd against: linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git
