Cover letter [RFC NET_SCHED 00/03]: ktime + nano-second clock resolution for packet schedulers
These patches convert the GETTIMEOFDAY packet scheduler clock source to ktime (based on Stephen's patch) and add support for using nano-second clock resolution. I chose a scalar time representation within the packet schedulers instead of ktime_t since it minimizes the ktime_to_ns() calls in most cases, it allows to clean up pkt_sched.h quite a bit and HFSC needs it anyway.
Unlike my previous attempt at this, these patches keep old iproute versions working with nano-second resolution with the exception of HFSC. I'm not sure what to do about HFSC yet, so just RFC for now.
