[PATCH] ext4: fix decoding of raw_inode timestamps

[Jeff Layton]

When we covert a timestamp from raw disk format, we need to consider it
to be signed, as the value may represent a date earlier than 1970. This
fixes generic/258 on ext4.

It might be best to just squash this fix in with the ext4 conversion in
the vfs tree.
