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

> 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.
