SubjectRe: [PATCH 7/9] fix get_timespec64() for y2038 safe compat interfaces

Is this correct for x32? Since x32 has a 64-bit tv_nsec, I think we currently
return an error in timespec64_valid when e.g. you pass 0xffffffff00000000
as the tv_nsec value, while after this patch x32 would behave the same way
as other 32-bit architectures and silently clear the upper bits.
