Commit 540eb1eef 'scsi: libfc: fix seconds_since_last_reset calculation'
removed the use of 'struct timespec' from fc_get_host_stats(). This broke the
output of 'fcoeadm -s' after kernel 4.8-rc1 as lport->boot_time - jiffies
could become negative as in this example:

$ cat /sys/class/fc_host/host8/statistics/seconds_since_last_reset 
0x10624dd2f1977b4

Take this into account so
/sys/class/fc_host/hostX/statistics/seconds_since_last_reset is sane again.

Hello Johannes,

I think the above code will miscalculate seconds_since_last_reset if 
'jiffies' wraps around after an lport has been created and before 
seconds_since_last_reset is computed. Shouldn't seconds_since_last_reset 
be computed as follows?

	fc_stats->seconds_since_last_reset = (jiffies - boot_time) / HZ;

Bart.

But what happens when jiffies - boot_time becomes negative? Then we
reintroduce the bug again and have 'fcoeadm -s' show weird values.

Hello Johannes,

If your concern is about 'jiffies' wrapping around on 32-bit systems
then you should use get_jiffies_64(). get_jiffies_64() - boot_time
can't become negative. It namely takes several million years before a
64-bit HZ counter wraps around.

Bart.

You're right. I'll respin using get_jiffies_64() and resent once it is tested.
