cpufreq: speedstep-lib: Use monotonic clock
Wall time obtained from do_gettimeofday is susceptible to sudden jumps due to user setting the time or due to NTP. Monotonic time is constantly increasing time better suited for comparing two timestamps. Signed-off-by: Abhilash Jindal <klock.android@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
