There are not any major distributions that are still supporting kernels
older than 2.6.27 so we can remove many typedefs. The primary motivator
for this change is that kernel 5.0 is dropping support for timeval and
it would be ideal if the in-kernel time representation can
standardize on ktime_t, but 2.6.18 did not support the ktime
interface that was needed.

Upstream kernel 4.14, in commit (686fef928bba6b "timer: Prepare to change timer
callback argument type") [1], introduced the timer_setup interface to replace
the init_timer/setup_timer interfaces. The primary change is that the timer
callback functions now follow the standard kernel pattern where the structure
the callback sits in is passed to the callback instead of storing a pointer to
an unassociated data type.
The setup_timer functions were removed in upstream kernel v4.15, and therefore
this change is needed in order to compile DAHDI for kernels >= 4.15.
This change follows the same strategy that was done in the kernel to while the
existing users of setup_timer were migrated to the new interface.

Don't use create_proc_read_entry() as that is deprecated, but rather use
proc_create_data() and seq_file instead.
This is needed to compile against Linux 3.10.

This patch removes support for kernel versions < 2.6.18, as those are
not actively supported in any major Linux distribution (except RHEL4,
which is in the "extended" support level of the product life cycle).
This removes much of the more #ifdef-rich parts of the code.

There is already a safe string copying function in all the kernels DAHDI
currently supports.

This allows the pvt member to be set under lock without holding the lock
through the call to create destroy.

Move the try_module_get/module_put calls from the various dynamic
drivers into the "core" dahdi_dynamic.c file itself. This way, a
reference count can always be held while calling through the function
pointers. This is enabled by adding an .owner field to 'struct
dahdi_dynamic_driver'.
Dynamic spans are also unique in dahdi in that they require a "dahdi_cfg
-s" to stop them and release the references on the modules. This is
counterintuitive. This change makes sure they are reference counted just
like other spans and on driver unload, if there aren't any open handles
from userspace, they will take care of unwinding themselves.

The check for DEFINE_SPINLOCK was spread throughout the source tree. If
not defined we can just define it in inlucde/dahdi/kernel.h. Now
include/dahdi/kernel.h is the only place that references
SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED (which breaks lockdep checking if DEFINE_SPINLOCK is
otherwise defined in the kernel).

This needs some more testing before it's on by default. If the card is
otherwise functioning, these messages may be confusing to the user. If
the card is not functioning, the driver can be reloaded with debug to
check for this condition.
