32 bit systems using 'time_t' will break in the year 2038, so we modify the code appropriately.

This patch removes the cast to 'time_t' in the assignment statement since we are eventually removing the time_t definition from the kernel as an effort to solve the y2038 problem. This change will avoid the build error but the code is still broken and requires a change in the ioctl interface.

Further, since the variable io_profile_start_time will break in 2038 or 2106 depending on user space interpreting it as signed or unsigned, comments have been added to highlight the same.

Only apply this patch if it's seen as acceptable that the io_profile_start_time remains truncated to 32 bits in IOCMD_ITNIM_GET_IOPROFILE. If this is something that needs to be fixed by adding a replacement vendor command, leave the cast in place as a reminder.
