epoll: convert internal api to timespec64
Patch series "add epoll_pwait2 syscall", v4.
Enable nanosecond timeouts for epoll.
Analogous to pselect and ppoll, introduce an epoll_wait syscall
variant that takes a struct timespec instead of int timeout.
This patch (of 4):
Make epoll more consistent with select/poll: pass along the timeout as
timespec64 pointer.
In anticipation of additional changes affecting all three polling
mechanisms:
- add epoll_pwait2 syscall with timespec semantics,
and share poll_select_set_timeout implementation.
- compute slack before conversion to absolute time,
to save one ktime_get_ts64 call.
