I wonder if we'd be better off just using nfssvc_boot.tv_sec as the
verifier? I don't see us ever calling that ktime_get_real_ts64 more than
once per second for this purpose, and that would eliminate wraparound.
That said, wraparound is not a huge concern here anyway, so this is
certainly fine for now:
