Subject: [PATCH 6/6] timer: Avoid using timespec

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...db.de>

The tstats_show() function prints a ktime_t variable by converting
it to struct timespec first. The algorithm is ok, but we want to
stop using timespec in general because of the 32-bit time_t
overflow problem.

This changes the code to use struct timespec64, without any
functional change.
