xfrm: use time64_t for in-kernel timestamps
The lifetime managment uses '__u64' timestamps on the user space interface, but 'unsigned long' for reading the current time in the kernel with get_seconds(). While this is probably safe beyond y2038, it will still overflow in 2106, and the get_seconds() call is deprecated because fo that. This changes the xfrm time handling to use time64_t consistently, along with reading the time using the safer ktime_get_real_seconds(). It still suffers from problems that can happen from a concurrent settimeofday() call or (to a lesser degree) a leap second update, but since the time stamps are part of the user API, there is nothing we can do to prevent that.
