uapi: change the type of struct statx_timestamp.tv_nsec to unsigned
The comment asserting that the value of struct statx_timestamp.tv_nsec
must be negative when statx_timestamp.tv_sec is negative, is wrong, as
could be seen from the following example:
The more generic comment asserting that the value of struct
statx_timestamp.tv_nsec might be negative is confusing to say the least.
It contradicts both the struct stat.st_[acm]time_nsec tradition and
struct timespec.tv_nsec requirements in utimensat syscall.
If statx syscall ever returns a stx_[acm]time containing a negative
tv_nsec that cannot be passed unmodified to utimensat syscall,
it will cause an immense confusion.
Fix this source of confusion by changing the type of struct
statx_timestamp.tv_nsec from __s32 to __u32.
