In order for this to build on non-compat platforms, or when
CONFIG_COMPAT is disabled, you'll need to avoid trying to
reference compat_timespec.

We get away with compat_msghdr because we define it as a NOP
in net/compat.h when necessary.

Doing the same, and cleanly, with this non-networking compat knob is
unlikely to be straightforward.
