Subject: [RFC 5/6] 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 clamp_t macro is used for clamping here as vfs
is not yet using struct timespec64 internally. This is
only for compilation purposes.
The actual patch can only be merged after the vfs is
transitioned to use timespec64 for correct operation of
clamp macro. At which point, clamp_t() will be replaced
by clamp().
