Subject: [PATCH 2/3] time: use ktime_get_real_seconds() in time syscall

Both get_seconds() and do_gettimeofday() are deprecated. Let's
change the time() implementation to use the replacement function
instead.

Obviously the system call will still overflow in 2038, but this
gets us closer to removing the old helper functions.
