'struct __kernel_old_timespec' represents the 'native' time ABI of the
kernel. On 32-bit systems it uses 32-bit fields and on 64-bit systems
it uses 64-bit fields.
However the x86 x32 ABI uses the 64-bit time ABI natively. This is
correctly handled for the 'tv_sec' fields, through the typedefs of
'__kernel_old_time_t' -> '__kernel_long_t' -> 'long long'. The same
treatment was missed for 'tv_nsec'.
In practice this might not make much of a difference as the value of
'tv_nsec' will always fit into 32 bits and the missing bits fall
into the padding of the structure.
When introspecting the structure however, a difference can be observed.
Switch to 64-bit tv_nsec on x32. No other architectures or ABIs are
affected.
While this could be interpreted as violating the POSIX requirement of
'timespec::tv_nsec' being 'long':
* __kernel_old_timespec is not actually the POSIX timespec type
* the requirement is gone in newer versions of POSIX
* this matches glibc
