3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Wang YanQing <udknight@gmail.com>
commit e1d7ba8735551ed79c7a0463a042353574b96da3 upstream.
Two issues were found on an IMX6 development board without an enabled RTC device(resulting in the boot time and monotonic time being initialized to 0).
Issue 1:exportfs -a generate: "exportfs: /opt/nfs/arm does not support NFS export" Issue 2:cat /proc/stat: "btime 4294967236"
The same issues can be reproduced on x86 after running the following code: int main(void) { struct timeval val; int ret;
val.tv_sec = 0; val.tv_usec = 0; ret = settimeofday(&val, NULL); return 0; }
Two issues are different symptoms of same problem: The reason is a positive wall_to_monotonic pushes boot time back to the time before Epoch, and getboottime will return negative value.
In symptom 1: negative boot time cause get_expiry() to overflow time_t when input expire time is 2147483647, then cache_flush() always clears entries just added in ip_map_parse. In symptom 2: show_stat() uses "unsigned long" to print negative btime value returned by getboottime.
This patch fix the problem by prohibiting time from being set to a value which would cause a negative boot time. As a result one can't set the CLOCK_REALTIME time prior to (1970 + system uptime).
