[PATCH rdma-core v4 4/4] ibacm: Use MONOTONIC time base to avoid timer expiration issues

["Michael J. Ruhl" <michael.j.ruhl-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

From: Michael J. Ruhl <michael.j.ruhl-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

The event_wait() function uses the CLOCK_REALTIME time base for
calculating expiration times (default time base for gettimeofday()).

Using the CLOCK_REALTIME time base can introduce incorrect expiration
timeout calculations if the REALTIME clock changes, making a timeout
too long (possibly hours or days), or too short.

Update time base usage to the CLOCK_MONOTONIC time base to avoid time
change issues.

Use appropriate typing to avoid unnecessary typecasting.
