Cpio format reserves 8 bytes for an ASCII representation of a time_t timestamp. While 2106-02-07 06:28:15 UTC (time_t = 0xffffffff) is still some years in the future, a poorly chosen date string for KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP, converted into seconds since the epoch, might lead to exceeded cpio timestamp limits that result in a broken cpio archive. Add timestamp checks to prevent overrun of the 8-byte cpio header field. My colleague Thomas Kühnel discovered the behaviour, when we accidentally fed SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP as is: some timestamps (e.g. 1607420928 = 2021-12-08 9:48:48 UTC) will be interpreted by `date` as a valid date specification of science fictional times (here: year 160742). Even though this is bad input for KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP, it should not break the initramfs cpio format.
