Changes required to get the driver up and running with Linux 4.15.

cfg80211.h was changed in 818a986e4ebacea2020622e48c8bc04b7f500d89
include/linux/netdevice.h was changed in cf124db566e6b036b8bcbe8decbed740bdfac8c6
Thanks to CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE, the compiler refused to compile this buggy code.
See https://outflux.net/blog/archives/2017/09/05/security-things-in-linux-v4-13/
for details why this issue hasn't been noticed before kernel 4.13.

Fixes jurobystricky#81.

Old timer API has been removed and replaced with new one that does not
allow passing arbitrary data within the timer callback. These changes
modify the driver so that it can be compiled again. It seems to work.
