Kernel timekeeping is designed to keep the change in cycles (since the last timer interrupt) below max_cycles, which prevents multiplication overflow when converting cycles to nanoseconds. However, if timer interrupts stop, the clocksource_cyc2ns() calculation will eventually overflow. Add protection against that. Simplify by folding together clocksource_delta() and clocksource_cyc2ns() into cycles_to_nsec_safe(). Check against max_cycles, falling back to a slower higher precision calculation.
