timekeeping: Provide y2038 safe accessor to the seconds portion of CLOCK_REALTIME
ktime_get_real_seconds() is the replacement function for get_seconds()
returning the seconds portion of CLOCK_REALTIME in a time64_t. For
64bit the function is equivivalent to get_seconds(), but for 32bit it
protects the readout with the timekeeper sequence count. This is
required because 32-bit machines cannot access 64-bit tk->xtime_sec
variable atomically.
