SO_TIMESTAMP, SO_TIMESTAMPNS and SO_TIMESTAMPING options, the
way they are currently defined, are not y2038 safe.
Subsequent patches in the series add new y2038 safe versions
of these options which provide 64 bit timestamps on all
architectures uniformly.
Hence, rename existing options with OLD tag suffixes.
Why do the existing interfaces have to be renamed when new interfaces are added?
