CURRENT_TIME is not y2038 safe.
We are switching all vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time.
And, deleting all references to CURRENT_TIME.
So CURRENT_TIME users will be replaced by either ktime_get_* apis
or current_fs_time_* apis.
There is going to be another series (based on
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/12/76)
which switches vfs time to 64 bit.
This means [a,c,m] times in struct inode, struct attr and struct kstat
will be changed to use timespec64.
Even though this is a psuedo-fs, we choose to use filesystem apis
rather than ktime_get_* apis as current_fs_time_* apis will switch time
data types together with vfs.
