Changes the definition of the pointer _expiry from time_t to
time64_t. This is to handle the Y2038 problem where time_t
will overflow in the year 2038. The change is safe because
the kernel subsystems that call dns_query pass NULL.

Changelog:
v1: The changes were originally made by Arnd Bergmann in
relation to time_t. I've broken down a patch sent to me
into two independent patches.

Want me to apply this to 'net'?

Yes, I think that would be good. The original patch was touching
both the key and net subsystems, but this patch makes sense by itself
now, and it helps keep the other half isolated to the key code.

OK, it sounds like we can simply delete the argument if nobody in-tree
uses it.

But whatever... applied thanks.
