[PATCH] io_uring: don't convert to jiffies for waiting on timeouts

[Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx>]

If an application calls io_uring_enter(2) with a timespec passed in,
convert that timespec to ktime_t rather than jiffies. The latter does
not provide the granularity the application may expect, and may in
fact provided different granularity on different systems, depending
on what the HZ value is configured at.

Turn the timespec into an absolute ktime_t, and use that with
schedule_hrtimeout() instead.
