[media] staging: media: lirc: Replace timeval with ktime_t in lirc_parallel.c



'struct timeval tv' and 'struct timeval now' is used to calculate the
elapsed time. 'LIRC_SFH506_DELAY' is a delay t_phl in usecs.

32-bit systems using 'struct timeval' will break in the year 2038,
so we have to replace that code with more appropriate types.
This patch changes the lirc_parallel.c file of  media: lirc driver
to use ktime_t.

ktime_get() is  better than using do_gettimeofday(),
because it uses the monotonic clock. ktime_sub is used
to subtract two ktime variables. ktime_to_us() is used to
convert ktime to microsecond.

New ktime_t variable timeout, is added in lirc_off(),to improve
clarity. Introduced a new ktime_t variable in lirc_lirc_irq_handler()
function, to avoid the use of signal variable for storing
seconds in the first part of this function as later it uses
a time unit that is defined by the global "timer" variable.
This makes it more clear.

ktime_set() is used to set a value in seconds to a value in
nanosecond so that ktime_compare() can be used appropriately.
ktime_compare() is used to compare two ktime values.
ktime_add_ns() is used to increment a ktime value by 1 sec.

One comment is also shifted a line up, as it was creating a 80
character warning.

Build tested it. Also tested it with sparse.
