s390/time: Use jiffies instead of jiffies_64

Browse Source 
Christoph Schlameuss and Alexander Egorenkov reported a data-race
reported by KCSAN when jiffies_64 is read:

==================================================================

Problem is that jiffies_64 instead of jiffies is used. Both are at the
same address, but only jiffies is of volatile type, which prevents this
warning.

Change the vtime code so jiffies instead of jiffies_64 is used
everywhere. This addresses also the inconsistency that both jiffies and
jiffies_64 were used in the original patch which introduced this.
