[RFC PATCH v3 1/8] rtc: Provide y2038 safe rtc_class_ops.set_mmss() replacement

[Xunlei Pang]

Currently the rtc_class_op's set_mmss() function takes a 32bit second
value (on 32bit systems), which is problematic for dates past y2038.

This patch provides a safe version named set_mmss64() using y2038 safe
time64_t.

After this patch, set_mmss() is deprecated and all its users will be
fixed to use set_mmss64(), it can be removed when having no users.
