MODSIGN: Fix 32-bit overflow in X.509 certificate validity date checking
The current choice of lifetime for the autogenerated X.509 of 100 years,
putting the validTo date in 2112, causes problems on 32-bit systems where a
32-bit time_t wraps in 2106. 64-bit x86_64 systems seem to be unaffected.
This can result in something like:
Loading module verification certificates
X.509: Cert 6e03943da0f3b015ba6ed7f5e0cac4fe48680994 has expired
MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-127)
Or:
X.509: Cert 6e03943da0f3b015ba6ed7f5e0cac4fe48680994 is not yet valid
MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-129)
Instead of turning the dates into time_t values and comparing, turn the system
clock and the ASN.1 dates into tm structs and compare those piecemeal instead.
