Linmao Li 3c0cf801ea ppdev: prevent overflow when setting port timeout
PPSETTIME64 supplies the timeval fields as s64 values, but
pp_set_timeout() narrows tv_usec to int and calculates tv_sec * HZ in a
signed long. Large positive values can therefore be truncated or overflow
and install an unintended timeout.

Keep both fields as s64, reject a non-canonical microsecond value, and
use timespec64_to_jiffies() to cap excessively large timeouts at
MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET. This is a behavior change because both PPSETTIME
ioctls could previously accept values with tv_usec >= USEC_PER_SEC.
The validation follows the precedent set by sock_set_timeout().
