Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] vfs: Add timestamp_truncate() api

timespec_trunc() function is used to truncate a
filesystem timestamp to the right granularity.
But, the function does not clamp tv_sec part of the
timestamps according to the filesystem timestamp limits.

Also, timespec_trunc() is exclusively used for filesystem
timestamps. Move the api to be part of vfs.

The replacement api: timestamp_truncate() also alters the
signature of the function to accommodate filesystem
timestamp clamping according to flesystem limits.

Note that the clamp_t macro is used for clamping here as vfs
is not yet using struct timespec64 internally. This is
required for compilation purposes.
Also note that clamp won't do the right thing for timestamps
beyond 2038 on 32-bit machines until the vfs uses timespec64.
After the vfs is transitioned to use timespec64 for timestamps,
clamp_t() can be replaced by clamp().
