isdn: divamnt: use y2038-safe ktime_get_ts64() for trace data timestamps
divamnt stores a start_time at module init and uses it to calculate elapsed time. The elapsed time, stored in secs and usecs, is part of the trace data the driver maintains for the DIVA Server ISDN cards. No change to the format of that time data is required. To avoid overflow on 32-bit systems use ktime_get_ts64() to return the elapsed monotonic time since system boot. This is a change from real to monotonic time. Since the driver only stores elapsed time, monotonic time is sufficient and more robust against real time clock changes. These new monotonic values can be more useful for debugging because they can be easily compared to other monotonic timestamps. Note elaspsed time values will now start at system boot time rather than module load time, so they will differ slightly from previously reported values. Remove declaration and init of previously unused time constants: start_sec, start_usec.
