[NET_SCHED]: Use ktime as clocksource
Get rid of the manual clock source selection mess and use ktime. Also
use a scalar representation, which allows to clean up pkt_sched.h a bit
more and results in less ktime_to_ns() calls in most cases.
The PSCHED_US2JIFFIE/PSCHED_JIFFIE2US macros are implemented quite
inefficient by this patch, following patches will convert all qdiscs
to hrtimers and get rid of them entirely.
