Subject: fix compat_sys_utimensat()

Compat utimensat() returns EINVAL when the tv_nsec is one of UTIME_OMIT or
UTIME_NOW and the tv_sec is set to non-zero.  As per man pages, the tv_sec
field should be ignored.

sys_utimensat() works fine in this case.

Test case:

#define _GNU_SOURCE
#define _ATFILE_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	struct timespec ts[2];
	struct timespec *tsp;

	if (argc < 2) {
		fprintf(stderr, "Usage : %s filename\n", argv[0]);
		exit (-1);
	}

	ts[0].tv_nsec = ts[1].tv_nsec = UTIME_NOW;
	ts[0].tv_sec = ts[1].tv_sec = 1;

	tsp = ts;

	if (utimensat(AT_FDCWD, argv[1],tsp,0) == -1)
		perror("utimensat");
	else
		fprintf(stdout, "utimensat success\n");
	return 0;
}
mjs22lp5:~ # cc -m64 utimensat-test.c -o utimensat_test64
mjs22lp5:~ # cc -m32 utimensat-test.c -o utimensat_test32
mjs22lp5:~ # ./utimensat_test32 /tmp/utimensat_test
utimensat: Invalid argument
mjs22lp5:~ # ./utimensat_test64 /tmp/utimensat_test
utimensat success
mjs22lp5:~ # uname -r
2.6.31-rc8

With the patch :

mjs22lp5:~ # ./utimensat_test64 /tmp/utimensat_test
utimensat success
mjs22lp5:~ # ./utimensat_test32 /tmp/utimensat_test
utimensat success
mjs22lp5:~ # uname -r
2.6.31-rc8utimensat
