time: Add y2038 safe read_boot_clock64()

As part of addressing in-kernel y2038 issues, this patch adds
read_boot_clock64() and replaces all the call sites of
read_boot_clock() with this function. This is a __weak
implementation, which simply calls the existing y2038 unsafe
read_boot_clock().

This allows architecture specific implementations to be
converted independently, and eventually the y2038 unsafe
read_boot_clock() can be removed after all its architecture
specific implementations have been converted to
read_boot_clock64().
