Subject: [PATCH 173/189] ipc: use monotonic clock
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Currently, the mp uses gettimeofday() API to get the time, and used as
timeout parameter.

But the time which gets from gettimeofday() API isn't monotonically
increasing. The process may fail if the system time is changed.

This fixes it by using clock_gettime() API with monotonic attribution.

Fixes: 783b6e54971d ("eal: add synchronous multi-process communication")
Fixes: f05e26051c15 ("eal: add IPC asynchronous request")
