time: Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec
The timekeeper struct has a xtime_nsec, which keeps the sub-nanosecond remainder. This ends up being somewhat duplicative of the timekeeper.xtime.tv_nsec value, and we have to do extra work to keep them apart, copying the full nsec portion out and back in over and over. This patch simplifies some of the logic by taking the timekeeper xtime value and splitting it into timekeeper.xtime_sec and reuses the timekeeper.xtime_nsec for the sub-second portion (stored in higher res shifted nanoseconds). This simplifies some of the accumulation logic. And will allow for more accurate timekeeping once the vsyscall code is updated to use the shifted nanosecond remainder.
