struct timeval uses a 32-bit field for representing seconds, which will overflow in the year 2038 and beyond. This patch replaces struct timeval with 64-bit ktime_t which is 2038 safe. The patch is part of a larger effort to remove instances of 32-bit timekeeping variables (timeval, time_t and timespec) from the kernel.

Looks OK to me.

The patch looks correct to me, just two minor points:
tv = ktime_get_real();
ns_timeout = ktime_to_ns(tv) + 2 * (s64)NSEC_PER_SEC;
* We have a macro for doing this in one line, so you can just use
ns_timeout = ktime_get_real_ns() + 2 * (s64)NSEC_PER_SEC;
* As the time is not stored anywhere and only used in a local function, using monotonic time instead of real time would slightly more appropriate, the only difference being the handling of a concurrent settimeofday() system call. That means calling ktime_get_ns() instead of ktime_get_real_ns().
