Subject[PATCH RFC 04/12] time: Add rtc_tm_to_time() safe version(using time64_t)
Date
The kernel uses 32-bit signed value(time_t) for seconds since 1970-01-01:00:00:00, thus it
will overflow at 2038-01-19 03:14:08 on 32-bit systems. We call this "2038 safety" issue.

As part of addressing 2038 saftey for in-kernel uses, this patch adds the safe rtc_tm_to_time()
using time64_t. After this patch, rtc_tm_to_time_unsafe() should be replaced by rtc_tm_to_time()
one by one.

Eventually, rtc_tm_to_time_unsafe() will be removed from the kernel when it has no users.
