compat: Add helper functions to read/write struct timeval, timespec

Browse source 
Add helper functions to read and write struct timeval and struct
timespec from userspace.  We already had helper functions for reading
and writing struct compat_timespec; add a set of functions to do the
same with struct timeval, and add a second suite of functions which
can be sensitive to COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME and access either 32- or
64-bit time structures.

This also exports these helper functions to modules.

Rename the existing inlines for converting between struct
compat_timeval and native struct timespec so we can have a saner
naming convention for the exported functions.
