  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")

v3:
* add acked-by.
* change patch's author.

v2:
* get rid of the CLOCK_TYPE_ID definition and use CLOCK_MONOTONIC
instead.

I did some comments on v2 about potential errors to catch,
but you sent this v3 without participating in v2 discussion.
