timex: change syscalls to use struct __kernel_timex

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. C libraries can implement it by calling clock_adjtime(CLOCK_REALTIME, ...). Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <[email protected]>
