The time argument is NULL in this case, and attempt to convert it
leads to a null pointer dereference.

This fixes commit d2e3b697da2433c08702f95c76458c51545c3df1
("y2038: linux: Provide __settimeofday64 implementation").

---
v2: Add just a null pointer check.  Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu and
    i686-linux-gnu.
