<title>ktime: Optimize ktime_divns for constant divisors</title>

At least on ARM, do_div() is optimized to turn constant divisors into
an inline multiplication by the reciprocal value at compile time.
However this optimization is missed entirely whenever ktime_divns() is
used and the slow out-of-line division code is used all the time.

Let ktime_divns() use do_div() inline whenever the divisor is constant
and small enough.  This will make things like ktime_to_us() and
ktime_to_ms() much faster.

This patch adds a reusable time difference function which returns the
difference in millisecond, as often used in some driver code, e.g.
mtd/test, media/rc, etc.

With the plain nanoseconds based ktime_t we can simply use
ktime_divns() instead of going through loops and hoops of
timespec/timeval conversion.

<title>ktime: Kill non-scalar ktime_t implementation for 2038</title>

The non-scalar ktime_t implementation is basically a timespec
which has to be changed to support dates past 2038 on 32bit
systems.

This patch removes the non-scalar ktime_t implementation, forcing
the scalar s64 nanosecond version on all architectures.

This may have additional performance overhead on some 32bit
systems when converting between ktime_t and timespec structures,
however the majority of 32bit systems (arm and i386) were already
using scalar ktime_t, so no performance regressions will be seen
on those platforms.

On affected platforms, I'm open to finding optimizations, including
avoiding converting to timespecs where possible.

[ tglx: We can now cleanup the ktime_t.tv64 mess, but thats a
  different issue and we can throw a coccinelle script at it ]

Fix them by using a "Return:" section to describe the return values.
