Subject: [patch V6 01/37] tracing/hwlat: Use ktime_get_mono_fast_ns()

Timestamping in the hardware latency detector uses sched_clock() underneath
and depends on CONFIG_GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK=n because sched clocks from that
subsystem are not NMI safe.

ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() is NMI safe and available on all architectures.

Replace the time getter, get rid of the CONFIG_GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK=n
dependency and cleanup the horrible macro maze which encapsulates u64 math
in u64 macros.
