Subject: [PATCH net-2.6] ipv6: Expose IFLA_PROTINFO timer values in msecs
 instead of jiffies

IFLA_PROTINFO exposes timer related per device settings in jiffies.
Change it to expose these values in msecs like the sysctl interface
does.

I did not find any users of IFLA_PROTINFO which rely on any of these
values and even if there are, they are likely already broken because
there is no way for them to reliably convert such a value to another
time format.
