The reason is that there is time drift between the time stamps got by ktime_get_real_ts() and current_time(). We need to revert this change until current_time() uses ktime_get_real_ts() internally.
Hmm, the change was not supposed to have a user-visible effect, so something has gone wrong, but I don't immediately see how it relates to what you observe.
ktime_get_real_ts() and current_time() use the same time base, there is no drift, but there is a difference in resolution, as the latter uses the time stamp of the last jiffies update, which may be up to one jiffy (10ms) behind the exact time we put in the request stamps here.
Do you still see problems if you use current_kernel_time() instead of ktime_get_real_ts()?
The problem disappears after using current_kernel_time().
