A new user of the deprecated current_kernel_time() function has appeared
here. This code won't work correct during leap seconds or a concurrent
settimeofday() call, and it probably doesn't do what the author intended
even for the normal case, as it passes a timeout in nanoseconds but
reads the time using a jiffies-granularity accessor.
I'm changing it to ktime_get_ns() here, which simplifies the logic,
and uses a high-res clocksource. This is a bit slower, but that
probably doesn't matter in a busy-wait loop.
Note: it also doesn't matter in the current version, as there are no
callers of this function.
