Commit Message

The tnc uses get_seconds() based timestamps to check the age of a znode,
which has two problems: on 32-bit architectures this may overflow in
2038 or 2106, and it gives incorrect information when the system time
is updated using settimeofday().

Using montonic timestamps with ktime_get_seconds() solves both thes
problems.

ubifs does
	abs(time - znode->time) >= age) {

Is this still legit with time64_t?

Thanks,

Answering my own question, yes.
abs() seems to be able to deal with 64bit numbers and time64_t is just a number.
