PATCH 1/1 rc-core: Remove 'struct timeval' usage

streamzap uses 'struct timeval' to store the start time of a signal for gap tracking. struct timeval uses a 32-bit seconds representation which will overflow in year 2038 and beyond. Replace struct timeval with ktime_t which uses a 64-bit seconds representation and is 2038 safe. This patch uses ktime_get_real() preserving the use of wall-clock time in the original code.

I've applied it to my y2038 tree for the moment, so I won't forget
about it, but it would be nice if Mauro could pick it up as well and let
me drop it from my tree.
