    nilfs2: support nanosecond timestamp · 61239230

    After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility
    issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode;
    CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs
    didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk.  A few users gave us the report
    that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs,
    and it turned out to be the cause.
    
    Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support
    nanosecond timestamps on this occation.  Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit
    field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this
    purpose without impact for the users.
    
    So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.
