Subject: [PATCH 5/6] time: Avoid timespec in udelay_test

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

udelay_test_single() uses ktime_get_ts() to get two timespec values
and calculate the difference between them, while udelay_test_show()
uses the same to printk() the current monotonic time.

Both of these are y2038 safe on all machines, but we want to
get rid of struct timespec anyway, so this converts the code to
use ktime_get_ns() and ktime_get_ts64() respectively.
