Why I did it
Mellanox platform API uses standard python time function
time.time()in many places.time.time()gets time from system clock which could be changed by NTP or user. Adjusting system clock will affect the code logical and causes bugs. For example, in platform/mellanox/mlnx-platform-api/sonic_platform/utils.py there is a Timer class, the timer will trigger event with unexpected interval if user/NTP changes the system clock. This PR changestime.time()totime.monotonicto avoid such issue.Work item tracking

time.monotonic()instead oftime.time.How to verify it
