nfs: use time64_t internally

The timestamps for the cache are all in boottime seconds, so they
don't overflow 32-bit values, but the use of time_t is deprecated
because it generally does overflow when used with wall-clock time.

There are multiple possible ways of avoiding it:

- leave time_t, which is safe here, but forces others to
  look into this code to determine that it is over and over.

- use a more generic type, like 'int' or 'long', which is known
  to be sufficient here but loses the documentation of referring
  to timestamps

- use ktime_t everywhere, and convert into seconds in the few
  places where we want realtime-seconds. The conversion is
  sometimes expensive, but not more so than the conversion we
  do today.

- use time64_t to clarify that this code is safe. Nothing would
  change for 64-bit architectures, but it is slightly less
  efficient on 32-bit architectures.

Without a clear winner of the three approaches above, this picks
the last one, favouring readability over a small performance
loss on 32-bit architectures.
