[PATCH] cachefiles: avoid deprecated get_seconds()

[Arnd Bergmann]

get_seconds() returns an unsigned long can overflow on some architectures
and is deprecated because of that. In cachefs, we cast that number to
a a 32-bit integer, which will overflow in year 2106 on all architectures.

The overflow probably isn't harmful in the end, since the timestamps are
only used to make the file names unique, but they don't strictly have to
be in monotonically increasing order. Moving to ktime_get_real_seconds()
avoids the deprecated interface, the question is whether we should still
truncate to 32 bits.

In this patch, I decided to not overflow, but instead to extend the
file names using the 64-bit timestamp, so they will be 17 characters
after 2106 rather than 16.
