A new user of the deprecated current_kernel_time() function has appeared here. This code won't work correct during leap seconds or a concurrent settimeofday() call, and it probably doesn't do what the author intended even for the normal case, as it passes a timeout in nanoseconds but reads the time using a jiffies-granularity accessor. I'm changing it to ktime_get_ns() here, which simplifies the logic, and uses a high-res clocksource. This is a bit slower, but that probably doesn't matter in a busy-wait loop. Note: it also doesn't matter in the current version, as there are no callers of this function.
