time: Fix get_timespec64() for y2038 safe compat interfaces
get/put_timespec64() interfaces will eventually be used for
conversions between the new y2038 safe struct __kernel_timespec
and struct timespec64.
The new y2038 safe syscalls have a common entry for native
and compat interfaces.
On compat interfaces, the high order bits of nanoseconds
should be zeroed out. This is because the application code
or the libc do not guarantee zeroing of these. If used without
zeroing, kernel might be at risk of using timespec values
incorrectly.
Note that clearing of bits is dependent on CONFIG_64BIT_TIME
for now. This is until COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME has been handled
correctly. x86 will be the first architecture that will use the
CONFIG_64BIT_TIME.
