[PATCH] aoe: Use 64-bit timestamp in frame

[Tina Ruchandani]

'struct frame' uses two variables to store the sent timestamp - 'struct
timeval' and jiffies. jiffies is used to avoid discrepancies caused by
updates to system time. 'struct timeval' uses 32-bit representation for
seconds which will overflow in year 2038.
This patch does the following:
- Replace the use of 'struct timeval' and jiffies with ktime_t, which
is a 64-bit timestamp and is year 2038 safe.
- ktime_t provides both long range (like jiffies) and high resolution
(like timeval). Using ktime_get (monotonic time) instead of wall-clock
time prevents any discprepancies caused by updates to system time.
