This is actually the root inode which is created and written to disk.
We actually want to use current_time() here, but this is not cached.
So we don't have a vfs inode.

struct ubifs_ino_node represents inode format on the disk.
I thought it would be odd to fill this with timespec64 only here.
My plan was to switch it over to timespec64 when all of ubifs changes
to use timespec64.
This also was helping the current series as it let me delete
CURRENT_TIME macros.
I can add a comment to suggest this in code.

But, what you suggest should also work fine since the on disk
representation is big enough to use timespec64 already.
Let me know if you want me to drop this change for now as we delete
CURRENT_TIME macros after rc1 now.
