[PATCH 2.4][SPARC64] fix sys32_utimes(somefile, NULL)

This patch fixes utimes(somefile, NULL) syscalls on sparc64 kernel with
32-bit userland - use of uninitialized value resulted in making random
timestamps, which confused e.g. sudo.
It has been already fixed (by davem) in linux-2.6 tree 30 months ago.
