[PATCH] drm/msm: Avoid potential overflow in timeout_to_jiffies()

The return type of ktime_divns() is s64. The timeout_to_jiffies() currently
assigns the result of this ktime_divns() to unsigned long, which on 32 bit
systems may overflow. Furthermore, the result of this function is sometimes
also passed to functions which expect signed long, dma_fence_wait_timeout()
is one such example.

Fix this by adjusting the type of remaining_jiffies to s64, so we do not
suffer overflow there, and return a value limited to range of 0..INT_MAX,
which is safe for all usecases of this timeout.

The above overflow can be triggered if userspace passes in too large timeout
value, larger than INT_MAX / HZ seconds. The kernel detects it and complains
about "schedule_timeout: wrong timeout value %lx" and generates a warning
backtrace.

Note that this fixes commit 6cedb8b377bb ("drm/msm: avoid using 'timespec'"),
because the previously used timespec_to_jiffies() function returned unsigned
long instead of s64:
static inline unsigned long timespec_to_jiffies(const struct timespec *value)

Fixes: 6cedb8b377bb ("drm/msm: avoid using 'timespec'")
