[NET]: Fix packet timestamping.
I've found the problem in general. It affects any 64-bit
architecture. The problem occurs when you change the system time.
Suppose that when you boot your system clock is forward by a day.
This gets recorded down in skb_tv_base. You then wind the clock back
by a day. From that point onwards the offset will be negative which
essentially overflows the 32-bit variables they're stored in.
In fact, why don't we just store the real time stamp in those 32-bit
variables? After all, we're not going to overflow for quite a while
yet.
When we do overflow, we'll need a better solution of course.
