>Description:
	linux emulation of times() syscall should just return the uptime of
	the system rather than fail when it is given NULL as its argument.  
	This is consistent with how linux actually behaves.  
>How-To-Repeat:
	compile a program "int main(void) { printf("%d\n", times(NULL)); }"
	and compare the output between native linux and emulated linux.
>Fix:
	simple mod to sys/compat/linux/common/linux_misc.c linux_sys_times()
