Compile: change user defined structs to proc_ops struct #74

Note: field names now have 'proc_' in the front Note Note: there is no owner field (do we need this?)

Peter - When trying to build this for 5.8 under Ubuntu 20 I ran into compiler complaints that the data structures you defined are not the same as the ones in the function prototypes. I think this fixes it.

Nice contribution, thanks Josh. The driver now compiles on by FC34 desktop, which is great, but it fails on our standard Ubuntu 18, so if you don't mind I won't merge it now. What I have done is stash it here in branch v5.8_ubuntu20; Next, step, make a merge with master with #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(x,y,z) ugliness so that the main code compiles both ways.

OK, there's quite a nice cross-version way to do this .. new update in 5 mins, should compile both ways.
