Arnd Bergmann afd48513f0 btrfs: use monotonic time for transaction handling
The transaction times were changed to ktime_get_real_seconds to avoid
the y2038 overflow, but they still have a minor problem when they go
backwards or jump due to settimeofday() or leap seconds.

This changes the transaction handling to instead use ktime_get_seconds(),
which returns a CLOCK_MONOTONIC timestamp that has neither of those
problems.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
