Using the bash variable 'SECONDS' plus 1 for searching the
dmesg log sometimes led to one test picking up error messages
from the previous test when run as a suite. SECONDS alone may
miss some logs, but SECONDS + 1 is just as often too great.

Since unit tests in the CXL suite are using common helpers to
start and stop work, initialize and use a "starttime" variable
with millisecond granularity for journalctl.

Once this is moved to the geenric helper, the other check_dmesg() will
get this benefit too, not just the cxl version :)

It might be worth adding a check to see if $starttime has been set, and
erroring out if not, in case a future test tries to use this, but
doesn't realize that they should've also used the common start helper.
