Suggested the wrong file while looking up the define. I was thinking
linux/time64.h

However it isn't part of headers_install, so can't use that one.

Considering the number of places NSEC_PER_MSEC is hard coded
and defined in headers e.g: tools/include/linux/time64.h, probably
should be included in timespec block in time.h

Not something to worry about for this patch. Please add a NSEC_PER_MSEC
define for now in this file.
