When I introduced the lastuse member I made a subtle error because it was
returned as an absolute value but that is meaningless to user-space as it
doesn't allow to see how old exactly an entry is. Let's make it similar to
how the bridge returns such values and make it relative to "now" (jiffies).
This allows us to show the actual age of the entries and is much more
useful (e.g. user-space daemons can age out entries, iproute2 can display
the lastuse properly).

v2: make sure lastuse is before or equal to jiffies as per David Laight's
comment
I realize that this changes the way it is exported, but since it hasn't
been in a release yet and we're most probably the only users, I think it is
worth fixing. This change allows user-space daemons to age out entries and
also for the lastuse value to be shown properly via iproute2.
