time: remove the timecompare code.

Browse Source 
This patch removes the timecompare code from the kernel. The top five
reasons to do this are:

1. There are no more users of this code.
2. The original idea was a bit weak.
3. The original author has disappeared.
4. The code was not general purpose but tuned to a particular hardware,
5. There are better ways to accomplish clock synchronization.

/*
* Utility code which helps transforming between two different time
* bases, called "source" and "target" time in this code.
*
* Source time has to be provided via the timecounter API while target
* time is accessed via a function callback whose prototype
* intentionally matches ktime_get() and ktime_get_real(). These
* interfaces where chosen like this so that the code serves its
* initial purpose without additional glue code.
*
* This purpose is synchronizing a hardware clock in a NIC with system
* time, in order to implement the Precision Time Protocol (PTP,
* IEEE1588) with more accurate hardware assisted time stamping. In
* that context only synchronization against system time (=
* ktime_get_real()) is currently needed. But this utility code might
* become useful in other situations, which is why it was written as
* general purpose utility code.
*
* The source timecounter is assumed to return monotonically
* increasing time (but this code does its best to compensate if that
* is not the case) whereas target time may jump.
*
* The target time corresponding to a source time is determined by
* reading target time, reading source time, reading target time
* again, then assuming that average target time corresponds to source
* time. In other words, the assumption is that reading the source
* time is slow and involves equal time for sending the request and
* receiving the reply, whereas reading target time is assumed to be
* fast.
