ext4 has different overflow limits for max filesystem
timestamps based on the extra bytes available.

The timestamp limits are calculated according to the
encoding table in
a4dad1ae

i(ext4: Fix handling of extended tv_sec):

Note that the time limits are not correct for deletion times.

Added a warn when an inode cannot be extended to incorporate an
extended timestamp.
