Applied with the commit message formatted as:

    libvhd: use UTC for VHD timestamp
    
    [ported from xapi-project/blktap a79ac2c05f9 ("XOP-289: use UTC for VHD
    timestamps")]
    
    Currently, the local timezone is factored into VHD timestamps due to the
    use of mktime(). This breaks "vhd-util check" for VHDs created in one
    timezone and then moved westward, which results in "primary footer
    invalid: creation time in future" errors.

    Andrei no longer works for Citrix but Germano Percossi (ex-colleague of
    Andrei) contacted Andrei and confirmed that
      1) this work was written on Citrix time,
      2) it is OK to have Andrei's SoB.
    
    Remove unused variable "tm".
