Please use SPDX tag rather than GPL boilerplate when adding new code.

Internally, kernel must use ktime. For the userspace part the TC standard
is to use USER HZ of 100.

Please change user kernel API of this module to match other existing modules.
Doing something unique for this module is not necessary.
