This uses the deprecated time_t type but is write-only, and could be
removed, but as Jeff explains, having a timestamp can be usefule for
post-mortem analysis in crash dumps.

In order to remove one of the last instances of time_t, this changes
the type to time64_t, same as j_trans_start_time.

This could replace "reiserfs: remove unused j_timestamp" if we decide
that we want to keep that variable.

Posting this patch as an alternative now, while waiting for Jeff to
reply on how important this really is.
