block: fix blktrace timestamps
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
David Dillow reported broken blktrace timestamps. The reason
is cpu_clock() which is not a global time source.

Fix bkltrace timestamps by using ktime_get() like the networking
code does for packet timestamps. This also removes a whole lot
of complexity from bkltrace.c and shrinks the code by 500 bytes:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   2888     124      44    3056     bf0 blktrace.o.before
   2390     116      44    2550     9f6 blktrace.o.after
