Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [CIFS] Fix signed/unsigned pointer warning

Commit 2ae83bf93882d1 ("[CIFS] Fix setting time before epoch (negative
time values)") changed "u64 t" to "s64 t", which makes do_div() complain
about a pointer signedness mismatch:

       ts.tv_nsec = (long)do_div(t, 10000000) * 100;

Introduce a temporary "u64 abs_t" variable to fix this.
