The VFS inode timestamps are not y2038 safe as they use
struct timespec. These will be changed to use struct timespec64
instead and that is y2038 safe.
But, since the above data type conversion will break the end
file systems, use vfs_time aliases here to access inode times.
aux data timestamps are only used to read in inode timestamps.
Hence, they need to change data type along with vfs times.
struct timespec64 is the same as struct timespec on 64 bit systems.
So it is a no-op on 64 bit systems.
The buffer length(datalen) passed in to read in auxdata in
cifs_fscache_inode_get_aux() and cifs_fscache_inode_check_aux() should
be big enough for the data type change from struct timespec to
struct timespec64 to be safe on 32 bit systems.
Following provide support for safe usage on 32 bit systems:
1. datalen already accounts for struct timespec64 on 64 bit systems.
2. datalen passed in is a constant with sufficient space to accommodate
auxdata.
3. The keylen subtracted from datalen is a constant and also leaves in
sufficient space for increase.
