Subject: [PATCH 1/4] kernel: time: Add current_nw_timestamp() for network timestamps

ICMP timestamp messages and IP source route options require
timestamps to be in milliseconds modulo 24 hours from
midnight UTC format.

Add a time function to support this. The function returns the
required timestamp in network byte order.

The function also uses y2038 safe time functions and data
structures.
