[PATCH 6/6] timex: change syscalls to use struct __kernel_timex

From: Deepa Dinamani
Date: Tue Jul 03 2018 - 01:45:45 EST


struct timex is not y2038 safe.
Switch all the syscall apis to use y2038 safe __kernel_timex.

Note that sys_adjtimex() does not have a y2038 safe solution.
The api is meant to be deprecated on 32 bit machines after y2038.
