Subject: [PATCH] time: remove useless "const" keyword in
 ns_to_kernel_old_timeval() and ns_to_timespec64()

As mentioned below,
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAK8P3a3nknJgEDESGdJH91jMj6R_xydFqWASd8r5BbesdvMBgA@mail.gmail.com/

The "const" keyword is useless, so we drop it from the function definition and declaration.
