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.

It was reported that for VLAN interfaces, failing to release this reference
count will prevent a system from rebooting properly, resulting in the need to
power cycle.

dahdi_dynamic now always calls the flush function in softirq context so packet
flushing no longer needs to be pushed off to process context since interrupts
are enabled.

Minor change to follow generally recommended practice. Prevents new packets
from being queued up for devices when they are about to be cleaned up. Also
clean up any skbs that may still be on the queue after unloading.
Also closes anoter potential kernel oops on module unload. It was possible to
delete the private structure while the master span process was running. The
result was an attempt to page memory from interrupt context.
Make sure that the pvt function is set and cleared under the zlock. Also do
not assume that the pvt pointer is valid in ztdeth_transmit.

Resolves the follwing build error:
drivers/dahdi/dahdi_dynamic_eth.c: In function ‘ztdeth_exit’:
drivers/dahdi/dahdi_dynamic_eth.c:448: error: implicit declaration of function ‘cancel_work_sync’
RHEL kernel versions 2.6.18-238 (5.6) and greater had cancel_work_sync()
backported which is what I did my original smoke test on.

It was possible after a dynamic ethernet span was created for a packet to come
in before the dahdi_span was fully initialized. The result would be a NULL
pointer dereference. Now just discard any packets that might come in during
this time window.

The masterspan can be, and often is, called with interrupts disabled but
dev_queue_xmit() needs to be called with interrupts enabled. This potentially
fixes a deadlock.

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.

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.
