Applied to for-linus-4.2, thanks.

"This patch" is a bit redundant in a commit message so I tweaked it to read:

    struct timeval uses a 32-bit field for representing seconds, which
    will overflow in the year 2038 and beyond. Replace struct timeval
    with 64-bit ktime_t which is 2038 safe.  This is part of a larger
    effort to remove instances of 32-bit timekeeping variables
    (timeval, time_t and timespec) from the kernel.
