It's more natural to use ktime/ns instead of keeping around usec, especially since we're comparing it against user provided timers, so convert napi busy poll internal handling to ktime. It's also nicer since the type (ktime_t vs unsigned long) now tells the unit of measure. Keep everything as ktime, which we convert to/from micro seconds for IORING_[UN]REGISTER_NAPI. The net/ busy polling works seems to work with usec, however it's not real usec as shift by 10 is used to get it from nsecs, see busy_loop_current_time(), so it's easy to get truncated nsec back and we get back better precision. Note, we can further improve it later by removing the truncation and maybe convincing net/ to use ktime/ns instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
