The kernel uses 32-bit signed value(time_t) for seconds since 
1970-01-01:00:00:00, so it
will overflow at 2038-01-19 03:14:08 on 32-bit systems. We call this "2038 
safety" issue.

As part of addressing 2038 saftey for in-kernel uses, this patch creates no 
functional change
in existing users, and converts rtc_time_to_tm_unsafe() to rtc_time_to_tm().
