Hi, Andrew,
While testing on ppc64, I found that taskstats could return incorrect data.
The same code worked fine on x86.
Thanks,

Description of the patch
------------------------
tsk->utime and tsk->stime are of type cputime_t. Explicitly converting from
cputime to nanoseconds does not work on all platforms. Use the cputime
API for conversion. This makes the code more portable and returns correct data
on ppc64.
This patch has been tested on x86 and ppc64.
