struct timeval' uses 32-bits for its seconds field and will overflow in the year 2038 and beyond. This patch replaces the usage of 'struct timeval' in mon_get_timestamp() with timespec64 which uses a 64-bit seconds field and is y2038-safe. mon_get_timestamp() truncates the timestamp at 4096 seconds, so the correctness of the code is not affected. This patch is part of a larger attempt to remove instances of struct timeval and other 32-bit timekeeping (time_t, struct timespec) from the kernel.
