Hi,
The compat_utimensat syscall does not ignore tv_sec field when tv_nsec
is set to UTIME_OMIT/UTIME_NOW and returns -EINVAL.

This problem was revealed with the utimensat_tests from LTP.
The utimensat() syscall works fine.
Attaching a patch for the issue. The patch has been tested and verified
to fix the issue.
With the patch :
mjs22lp5:~ # ./utimensat_test64 /tmp/utimensat_test
utimensat success
mjs22lp5:~ # ./utimensat_test32 /tmp/utimensat_test
utimensat success
mjs22lp5:~ # uname -r
2.6.31-rc8utimensat
Please apply.
Thanks,
Suzuki
