Agreed, the conversion is wrong. I think the code is buggy period, as it
accesses xtime without grabbing the xtime_lock first. Following patch
should fix both issues.

Description: This function incorrectly multiplies a nanosecond value by
1000, instead of dividing by 1000, to obtain a corresponding microsecond
value. Fix the math. Also, the function incorrectly accesses xtime
without using the xtime_lock. Fixed as well. Patch is compile-tested.
