[LTP] [PATCH 1/1] ima_measurements.sh: Use /proc/uptime instead of date

It fixes more iterations (e.g. -i2) which is more precise.
date +%s could be used, but it's better use procfs file instead
requiring binary.

Hi all,

I hope to get this merged into upcoming release (git freeze is going to
be at January the 14), i.e. this Friday.

Kind regards,
Petr
