read_boot_clock(), read_persistent_clock() and update_persistent_clock()
all use timespec which may have "y2038 problem", thus we are planning on
converting all of them to use timespec64.

The approach we're using is:
1) First of all, add the "__weak" implementaion of xxx_clock64() which uses
   xxx_clock() and timespec64.

   Let's take read_persistent_clock() as an example. We can create its
   y2038-safe version below:
        void __weak read_persistent_clock64(struct timespec64 *ts64)
        {
             struct timespec ts;

            read_persistent_clock(&ts);
            *ts64 = timespec_to_timespec64(ts);
        }

   Then, replace all the call sites of xxx_clock() with xxx_clock64() except
   the one used by xxx_clock64().

2) Convert every architecture specific xxx_clock() to xxx_clock64() one by one.
   At this point, we can convert the three functions at a time if needed, because
   most time they're correlated.

3) Remove xxx_clock() after all its architecture specific implementations have been
   converted to use corresponding y2038 safe xxx_clock64().

This patchset firstly finished the step1 for all the three functions, then focused
on read_boot_clock() which is simple to go on with step2 and step3 as a whole show.

As for read_persistent_clock() and update_persistent_clock() which are more complex,
requiring many efforts to convert every architecture specific implementation gradually.

The approach used here is Suggested-by: "Arnd Bergmann <arnd-r2nGTMty4D4@public.gmane.org>"
