Since v4.17 the timestamp written to 'flush' is ignored,
so there isn't much point choosing too precisely.
For kernels since v4.3-rc3-13-g778620364ef5 it is safe
to write 1 second beyond the current time.
For earlier kernels, nothing is really safe (even the current
behaviour), but writing one second beyond the current time isn't too bad
in the unlikely case the people use a new nfs-utils on a 5 year old
kernel.
This remove a dependency for libnfs.a on 'etab' being declare,
so svcgssd no longer needs to declare it.
