Subject: [PATCH 1/8] y2038: timex: remove incorrect time_t truncation

A cast to 'time_t' was accidentally left in place during the
conversion of __do_adjtimex() to 64-bit timestamps, so the
resulting value is incorrectly truncated.

Remove the cast so the 64-bit time gets propagated correctly.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Fixes: ead25417f82e ("timex: use __kernel_timex internally")
