checkpatch correctly instructs us to use linux/param.h, not asm/param.h.

This:

--- a/include/linux/timex.h~linux-timexh-cleanup-for-userspace-checkpatch-fixes
+++ a/include/linux/timex.h
@@ -165,8 +165,8 @@ struct timex {
 #ifdef __KERNEL__
 #include <linux/compiler.h>
 #include <linux/types.h>
+#include <linux/param.h>
 
-#include <asm/param.h>
 #include <asm/timex.h>
 
 /*

seems Obviously Safe to me.  Do you agree?

(please use checkpatch - sometimes it's useful!)
