POSIX.1 section for futimens, utimensat and utimes says: The file's relevant timestamp shall be set to the greatest value supported by the file system that is not greater than the specified time. Clamp the timestamps accordingly before assignment. Note that clamp_t macro is used for clamping here as vfs is not yet using struct timespec64 internally. This is for compilation purposes only. The actual patch can only be merged only after vfs is transitioned to use timespec64 for correct operation of clamp macro. At which point, clamp_t() will be replaced by clamp().
