This patch replaces timeval with timespec64 as 32 bit 'struct timeval' will not give current time beyond 2038.
The patch changes the code to use ktime_get_real_ts64() which returns a 'struct timespec64' instead of do_gettimeofday() which returns a 'struct timeval'
This patch also alters the format strings in sprintf() for now.tv_sec and now.tv_nsec to incorporate 'long long' on 32 bit architectures and leading zeroes respectively.

I was going to suggest to send this to the maintainers now, but after checking the MAINTAINERS file myself, I see that this would be Greg and me ;-)
Greg, can you pick this up into the char-misc tree?

Hi Arnd,
I made a slight error while sending v2 which I caught after figuring out of my issue of compiling the module.
I'm sending a v3 after build testing it.
Should I cc you and Greg separately or let it be?
