Subject: [PATCH v3] scsi: stex: Remove use of struct timeval

Function stex_gettime uses 'struct timeval' whose tv_sec value
will overflow on 32-bit systems in year 2038 and beyond. This patch
replaces the use of struct timeval and do_gettimeofday with
ktime_get_real_seconds, which returns a 64-bit seconds value.

Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

Changes in v3:
- Remove stex_gettime altogether, directly assign the timestamp.
Changes in v2:
- Change subject line to indicate that the patch is restricted to stex driver.
