The normal replacement would be ktime_get_real_seconds(), but that needs to use a sequence lock that might cause a deadlock if the MCE happens at just the wrong moment. The __ktime_get_real_seconds() skips that lock and is safer here, but has a miniscule risk of returning the wrong time when we read it on a 32-bit architecture at the same time as updating the epoch, i.e. from before y2106 overflow time to after, or vice versa. This seems to be an acceptable risk in this particular case, and is the same thing we do in kdb.
