Subject: [PATCH 7/7] [RFC] [media] introduce v4l2_timespec type for timestamps

The v4l2 event queue uses a 'struct timespec' to pass monotonic
timestamps. This is not a problem by itself, but it breaks when user
space redefines timespec to use 'long long' on 32-bit systems.

To avoid that problem, we define our own replacement for timespec here,
using 'long' tv_sec and tv_nsec members. This means no change to the
existing API, but lets us keep using it with a y2038 compatible libc.

As a side-effect, this changes the API for x32 programs to be the same
as native 32-bit, using a 32-bit tv_sec/tv_nsec value, but both old and
new kernels already support both formats for on the binary level for
compat and x32.

Alternatively, we could leave the header file to define the interface
based on 'struct timespec', and implement both ioctls for native
processes. I picked the approach in this case because it matches what
we do for v4l2_timeval in the respective patch, but both would work
equally well here.
