Again, use timespec64

We don't have __current_kernel_time64() yet, but it is trivial
to add, just follow the example of
current_kernel_time()/current_kernel_time64() and convert the
existing __current_kernel_time() function into a static
inline wrapper for the new __current_kernel_time64().

I guess we will also need a XENPF_settime64 interface, but at
least we can get away with implementing only that one on ARM,
while x86 will have to support both the 32-bit and 64-bit
based variant.
