[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox] tools/time: give tm struct as mut reference

[Dominik Csapak]

mktime/timegm can modify the timestruct (to normalize the time, e.g.
convert the january 40 to february 9)

to use that feature, we have to give a mutable reference, else the
struct will be copied and the original left untouched
