[PATCH] [media] zoran: Use monotonic time

[PATCH] [media] zoran: Use monotonic time

[Abhilash Jindal]

Wall time obtained from do_gettimeofday is susceptible to sudden jumps due to
user setting the time or due to NTP.

Monotonic time is constantly increasing time better suited for comparing two
timestamps.
