Subject: [PATCH] lparstat: Use CLOCK_BOOTTIME for get_time interface and
 Deprecate get_sys_upttime

Upstream: merged, expected in v1.3.13
Git-commit: 9572f8c2022fed9783f0f606cbe778ffe0d93fef

"time" is used in lparstat.c to find the time elapsed either since boot
or between two intervals. But it is using gettimeofday which returns the
time elapsed since Epoch. This works for intervals calculations but it
doesn't work for since boot reports.

Instead use the CLOCK_BOOTTIME interface to get the elapsed time. This
fixes physc, utilization based on purr being wrong since boot.

Remove "uptime" interface since there are no users of it. One can get
the system uptime by calling "time" itself.

Interval based lparstat values are same. With this patch the physc and
busy purr/idle purr values show correctly for since boot reports.

Note: this patch doesn't fix the idle purr being incorrect. That is
currently being investigated.
