Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 02/11] time: Add mktime64() safe version(using time64_t)

As part of addressing 2038 saftey for in-kernel uses, this patch
adds safe mktime64() using time64_t. After this patch, mktime()
should be replaced by mktime64() one by one. Eventually, mktime()
will be removed from the kernel when it has no users.
