Sorry, that's in fact what I have.

That's because sb->s_mkfs_time is a __u32, and time_t isn't
necessarily be a 32-bit type (and in fact isn't on x86_64, x32,
apropos of current discussion happening on ksummit-discuss.)  Yes,
that means the ext4 superblock has a 2038 problem, but that's a
separate issue that we should fix one of these days....
