Subject: staging/lustre: use jiffies for lp_last_query times

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>

commit 9f088dba3cc267ea11ec0da318cd0175575b5f9b upstream.

The recently introduced lnet_peer_set_alive() function uses get_seconds() to read the current time into a shared variable, but all other uses of that variable compare it to jiffies values.

This changes the current use to jiffies as well for consistency.

Fixes af3fa7c71bf ("staging/lustre/lnet: peer aliveness status and NI status")
