blktrace: avoid using timespec

The blktrace code stores the current time in a 32-bit word in its
user interface. This is a bad idea because 32-bit seconds overflow
at some point.

We probably have until 2106 before this one overflows, as it seems
to use an 'unsigned' variable, but we should confirm that user
space treats it the same way.

Aside from this, we want to stop using 'struct timespec' here,
so I'm adding a comment about the overflow and change the code
to use timespec64 instead to make the loss of range more obvious.
