The below patch (bar whitespace mangling by gmail) avoids redefinition
conflicts for me if linux/time.h is included after time.h. The other direction
would also require changes to the userspace headers, as stated in
libc-compat.h.

A simpler other option is to explicitly include either of the time.h
files depending on the environment, similar to uapi/linux/lightnvm.h.
timespec itself is also explicitly defined in uapi/linux/coda.h, but that
won't avoid redefinition if time.h is included afterwards.
The rough libc-compat.h patch:
