PATCH RESEND 1/1 AFS: Correctly use 64-bit time for UUID

UUID calculation uses 'struct timespec' whose seconds will overflow in year 2038 and beyond for 32-bit systems. This patch removes the dependency on 'struct timespec' by using ktime_get_real(). While the patch does not fix a 'bug' as such, it is part of a larger effort to remove instances of 'struct timespec' and other data-structures suffering from y2038 problem from the kernel.
