Changes the defintion of the pointer _expiry from time_t to
time64_t. This is to handle the Y2038 problem where time_t
will overflow in 2038. The change is safe because the kernel
subsystems that call dns_query pass NULL.

Changelog:
v1: The changes were originally made by Arnd Bergmann in 
relation to time_t. I've broken down a patch sent to me to
two independent patches.
