Doesn't build on Linux 4.15

[unixfox]

I can't build the mt7610u module on Linux kernel 4.15.2. Here are the logs:

<command-line>:0:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
/var/lib/dkms/mt7610u_sta/1.0/build/os/linux/../../os/linux/rt_linux.c: In function '__RTMP_OS_Init_Timer':

   pTimer->function = function;
                    ^

It's because with the Linux version 4.15-rc1, the old interface init_timer() is no longer available:

With version 4.15-rc1, conversion to new timer interface is finished and old interface using init_timer() is no longer available. Convert both users to new one.

Why close this bug if the related PR was not merged yet?
