firewire: ohci: stop using get_seconds() for BUS_TIME
The ohci driver uses the get_seconds() function to implement the 32-bit CSR_BUS_TIME register. This was added in 2010 commit a48777e03ad5 ("firewire: add CSR BUS_TIME support"). As get_seconds() returns a 32-bit value (on 32-bit architectures), it seems like a good fit for that register, but it is also deprecated because of the y2038/y2106 overflow problem, and should be replaced throughout the kernel with either ktime_get_real_seconds() or ktime_get_seconds(). I'm using the latter here, which uses monotonic time. This has the advantage of behaving better during concurrent settimeofday() updates or leap second adjustments and won't overflow a 32-bit integer, but the downside of using CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME is that the observed values are not related to external clocks. If we instead need UTC but can live with clock jumps or overflows, then we should use ktime_get_real_seconds() instead, retaining the existing behavior.
