Subject[PATCH] net: dns_resolver: convert time_t to time64_t
Changes the definition of the pointer _expiry from time_t to
time64_t. This is to handle the Y2038 problem where time_t
will overflow in the year 2038. The change is safe because
the kernel subsystems that call dns_query pass NULL.

Changelog:
v1: The changes were originally made by Arnd Bergmann in
relation to time_t. I've broken down a patch sent to me
into two independent patches.
