32 bit systems using 'struct timeval' will break in the year 2038, so we modify the code appropriately.
This patch replaces the use of struct timeval and do_gettimeofday() with 64 bit ktime_get_real_seconds().

This code looks like a copy of the bfa_svc.c file from your earlier patch, and the same comments apply: Make sure that stats_reset_time has an appropriate type, and convert to monotonic time.
To further clarify: when you change to using monotonic time, using a 32-bit variable to store the time is sufficient and you don't need to change the type, but you should still explain that in the patch description if you do it.
