y2038: Introduce struct __timespec64 - new internal glibc type
This type is a glibc's "internal" type similar to struct timespec but
whose tv_sec field is a __time64_t rather than a time_t, which makes it
Y2038-proof and usable to pass syscalls between user code and Y2038-proof
kernel.

To support passing this structure to the kernel - the unnamed 32 bit
padding bit-field has been introduced. The placement of it depends on
the endianness of the SoC.

Tested on x86_64 and ARM.
