time: Provide y2038 safe do_settimeofday() replacement
The kernel uses 32-bit signed value(time_t) for seconds elapsed 1970-01-01:00:00:00, thus it will overflow at 2038-01-19 03:14:08 on 32-bit systems. This is widely known as the y2038 problem. As part of addressing "y2038 problem" for in-kernel uses, this patch adds safe do_settimeofday64() using timespec64. After this patch, do_settimeofday() is deprecated and all its call sites will be fixed using do_settimeofday64(), after that it can be removed.
