Log Message:
Use time_uptime instead of time_second to avoid time leaps

Some codes in sys/net* use time_second to manage time periods such as
cache expirations. However, time_second doesn't increase monotonically
and can leap by say settimeofday(2) according to time_second(9). We
should use time_uptime instead of it to avoid such time leaps.

This change replaces time_second with time_uptime. Additionally it
converts a time based on time_uptime to a time based on time_second
when the kernel passes the time to userland programs that expect
the latter, and vice versa.

Note that we shouldn't leak time_uptime to other hosts over the
netowrk. My investigation shows there is no such leak:

Discussed on tech-kern and tech-net.
