shmem: use monotonic time for i_generation
get_seconds() is deprecated because it will lead to a 32-bit overflow in 2038 or 2106. We don't need the i_generation to be strictly monotonic anyway, and other file systems like ext4 and xfs just use prandom_u32(), so let's use the same one here. If this is considered too slow, we could also use ktime_get_seconds() or ktime_get_real_seconds() to keep the previous behavior. Both of these return a time64_t and are not deprecated, but only return a unique value once per second, and are predictable.
