32 bit systems using 'time_t' will break in the year 2038, so
we modify the code appropriately.
This patch removes the cast to 'time_t' in the assignment statement
since we are eventually removing the time_t definition from the kernel
as an effort to solve the y2038 problem. This change will avoid

This patch replaces u32 time storing variable with u64 variable to
store the 64 bit seconds value returned by ktime_get_real_seconds().
A cast to time_t has also been added to the assignment statement
which will cause a build error when we eventually remove the time_t definition
from the kernel.
