[Backport v1.14-branch] kernel: reimplement k_uptime_get_32()

  * @brief Get system uptime (32-bit version).

- * This routine returns the lower 32-bits of the elapsed time since the system
- * booted, in milliseconds.
+ * This routine returns the lower 32 bits of the system uptime in
+ * milliseconds.
  *
- * This routine can be more efficient than k_uptime_get(), as it reduces the
- * need for interrupt locking and 64-bit math. However, the 32-bit result
- * cannot hold a system uptime time larger than approximately 50 days, so the
- * caller must handle possible rollovers.
+ * Because correct conversion requires full precision of the system
+ * clock there is no benefit to using this over k_uptime_get() unless
+ * you know the application will never run long enough for the system
+ * clock to approach 2^32 ticks.  Calls to this function may involve
+ * interrupt blocking and 64-bit math.
  *
  * @note While this function returns time in milliseconds, it does not mean it
  * has millisecond resolution. The actual resolution depends on
  * :option:`CONFIG_SYS_CLOCK_TICKS_PER_SEC` config option, and with the default
  * setting of 100, system time is updated in increments of 10ms.
  *
- * @return Current uptime in milliseconds.
+ * @return The low 32 bits of the current uptime, in milliseconds.
