[PATCH v4 02/25] timekeeping:Introduce the current_kernel_time64() function with timespec64 type

[Baolin Wang]

This patch adds current_kernel_time64() function with timespec64 type,
and makes current_kernel_time() 'static inline' and moves it to timekeeping.h
file.

It is convenient for user to get the current kernel time with timespec64 type,
and delete the current_kernel_time() function easily in timekeeping.h file. That
is ready for 2038 when get the current time.
