[PATCH] prevent timespec/timeval to ktime_t overflow
Frank v. Waveren pointed out that on 64bit machines the timespec to
ktime_t conversion might overflow. This is also true for timeval to
ktime_t conversions. This breaks a "sleep inf" on 64bit machines.
While a timespec/timeval with tx.sec = MAX_LONG is valid by specification
the internal representation of ktime_t is based on nanoseconds. The
conversion of seconds to nanoseconds overflows for seconds values >=
(MAX_LONG / NSEC_PER_SEC).
Check the seconds argument to the conversion and limit it to the maximum
time which can be represented by ktime_t.
