[PATCH v5 2/3] fs/proc: apply the time namespace offset to /proc/stat btime

[Michael Weiß]

'/proc/stat' provides the field 'btime' which states the time stamp of
system boot in seconds. In case of time namespaces, the offset to the
boot time stamp was not applied earlier.
This confuses tasks which are in another time universe, e.g., in a
container of a container runtime which utilize time namespaces to
virtualize boottime.

Therefore, we make procfs to virtualize also the btime field by
subtracting the offset of the timens boottime from 'btime' before
printing the stats.

Since start_boottime of processes are seconds since boottime and the
boottime stamp is now shifted according to the timens offset, the
offset of the time namespace also needs to be applied before the
process stats are given to userspace.

This avoids that processes shown, e.g., by 'ps' appear as time
travelers in the corresponding time namespace.
