Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] iio: adc: ina2xx: Use a monotonic clock for delay calculation

The iio timestamp clock is user selectable and may be non-monotonic. Also,
only part of the acquisition time is measured, thus the delay was longer
than intended.

Use a monotonic timestamp to track the time for the next poll iteration.
The timestamp is advanced by the sampling interval each iteration. In case
the conversion overrruns the register readout (i.e. fast sampling combined
with a slow bus), one or multiple samples will be dropped.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Brüns <stefan.bruens@...h-aachen.de>

Changes in v2:
- add a comment mentioning skipping samples on overrun
