The timespec structure and associated interfaces are deprecated and will
be removed in the future because of the y2038 overflow.

The use of ktime_to_timespec() in timeout_to_jiffies() does not
suffer from that overflow, but is easy to avoid by just converting
the ktime_t into jiffies directly.

The ktime_t interfaces are still defined to use an opaque type,
as previously it was a union that could be a seconds/nanoseconds
pair depending on the architecture. These days, ktime_t is just
a 64-bit integer, so div_u64() would work just as well as ktime_divns(),
but this is the documented way to do it.
