compat: backport ktime_get_monotonic_offset()
The commit
a80b83b7 exported ktime_get_monotonic_offset()
but note that this was already in place on the header
files declared as extern, it was just never exported.
To work around the double possible declaration issue
with older kernels fortunately the LINUX_BACKPORT()
macro comes to the rescue by encofring our version
to be declared and used in backport code. Note that
this was added due to commit
c61eef72 added as of
v3.8 for DRM drivers that need access to timestamps that
do no do not jump, unfortunately for older kernels we
can't port that since it requires access to a static
variable on the kernel, so just use the timestamps that
jump.

Input: add infrastructure for selecting clockid for event time stamps
As noted by Arve and others, since wall time can jump backwards, it is
difficult to use for input because one cannot determine if one event
occurred before another or for how long a key was pressed.
However, the timestamp field is part of the kernel ABI, and cannot be
changed without possibly breaking existing users.
This patch adds a new IOCTL that allows a clockid to be set in the
evdev_client struct that will specify which time base to use for event
timestamps (ie: CLOCK_MONOTONIC instead of CLOCK_REALTIME).
For now we only support CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME, but
in the future we could support other clockids if appropriate.
The default remains CLOCK_REALTIME, so we don't change the ABI.

drm: add support for monotonic vblank timestamps
Jumps in the vblank and page flip event timestamps cause trouble for
clients, so we should avoid them. The timestamp we get currently with
gettimeofday can jump, so use instead monotonic timestamps.
For backward compatibility use a module flag to revert back to using
gettimeofday timestamps. Add also a DRM_CAP_TIMESTAMP_MONOTONIC flag
that is simply a read only version of the module flag, so that clients
can query this without depending on sysfs.
