tcp: syncookies: do not use getnstimeofday()

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 6326231531 ]

While it is true that getnstimeofday() uses about 40 cycles if TSC
is available, it can use 1600 cycles if hpet is the clocksource.

Switch to get_jiffies_64(), as this is more than enough, and
go back to 60 seconds periods.
