Subject: [PATCH] drm: via: use ktime_get() instead of do_gettimeofday

We want to remove uses of do_gettimeofday() from the kernel since the
resulting timeval structure overflows in 2038. This is not a problem for
this particular use, but do_gettimeofday() is also not an appropriate
method for measuring time intervals, since it requires a conversion into
microseconds and is complicated to work with.

ktime_get() is a better replacement, as it works with the monontonic
kernel timebase and requires a minimum of computation.

I'm slightly changing the output from microseconds to nanoseconds here,
to avoid introducing a new division operation. This should be fine
since the value is only used for debugging.
