The VFS now uses timespec64 timestamps consistently, but jffs2 still converts them to 32-bit numbers on the storage medium. As the helper functions for the conversion (get_seconds() and timespec_to_timespec64()) are now deprecated, let's change them over to the more modern replacements.
This keeps the traditional interpretation of those values, where the on-disk 32-bit numbers are taken to be negative numbers, i.e. dates before 1970, on 32-bit machines, but future numbers past 2038 on 64-bit machines.

I originally sent these two patches on Jun 19, but got no reply aside from a harmless sparse warning reported by the kbuild test robot.
Looking at the git history for jffs2, it seems that David Woodhouse hasn't applied any patches for over two years, so I suppose he's not taking these either.
Al or Andrew, could you pick these up instead?
We can carry it also via the MTD tree.
