Subject: [PATCH v2] fix segfault in lutimes when tv argument is NULL

From: Érico Rolim <ericonr@...root.org>

calling lutimes with tv=0 is valid if the application wants to set the
timestamps to the current time. this commits makes it so the timespec
struct is populated with values from tv only if tv != 0 and calls
utimensat with times=0 if tv == 0.

This ended up basically being the patch from [1], but without the
erroneous validation.
