Subject: [PATCH] Fix compat_sys_utimensat 

Hi,

The compat_utimensat syscall does not ignore tv_sec field when tv_nsec 
is set to UTIME_OMIT/UTIME_NOW and returns -EINVAL.

This problem was revealed with the utimensat_tests from LTP.

The utimensat() syscall works fine.

Attaching a patch for the issue. The patch has been tested and verified 
to fix the issue.

Please apply.

Thanks,

Suzuki
