[PATCH v2] staging: lustre: ldlm: pl_recalc time handling is wrong

From: Arnd Bergmann

James Simmons reports:
> The ldlm_pool field pl_recalc_time is set to the current
> monotonic clock value but the interval period is calculated
> with the wall clock. This means the interval period will
> always be far larger than the pl_recalc_period, which is
> just a small interval time period. The correct thing to
> do is to use monotomic clock current value instead of the
> wall clocks value when calculating recalc_interval_sec.

This broke when I converted the 32-bit get_seconds() into
ktime_get_{real_,}seconds() inconsistently. Either
one of those two would have worked, but mixing them
does not.

Staying with the original intention of the patch, this
changes the ktime_get_seconds() calls into ktime_get_real_seconds(),
using real time instead of mononic time.

v2: James' patch was similarly incomplete to mine, as it only
addressed some of the calls. With this new version, all ktime
accessors use the same time domain.
