Revert "sys_time() speedup"

This basically reverts commit 4e44f349

,
while waiting for it to be re-done more completely.  There are cases of
people mixing "time()" with higher-resolution time sources, and we need
to take the nanosecond offsets into account.

Ingo has a patch that does that, but it's still under some discussion.
In the meantime, just revert back to the old simple situation of just
doing the whole exact timesource calculations.

But rather than using do_gettimeofday(), use the internal nanosecond
resolution getnstimeofday(), which at least avoids one unnecessary
conversion (since we really don't care about whether the fractional
seconds are nanoseconds or microseconds - we'll just throw them away).
