[LTP] [PATCH] syscalls/time01:Avoid using TST_RET in time() test to support Y2038-safe time_t

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Jiaying,

> On 32-bit systems with Y2038 support, time_t is 64-bit while TST_RET
> remains a long (usually 32-bit).Using TST_RET to store the return value
> of time() causes overflow after 2038, leading to incorrect comparisons
> and false test failures like:

>     TFAIL: time() returned value -2085977741, stored value 2208989555 are different

> This patch replaces usage of TST_RET with a local variable of type
> time_t (ret_time), ensuring correct behavior with large timestamps and
> avoiding truncation.

nit: wrong whitespace indent (can be fixed before merge).

Fixed that and merged.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
