The jiffies variable keeps running forever, it can be 0 at any time.
In the worst case we will wait more than we should, and this case is
really rare, so it's fine IMHO. And when booting, jiffies usually has
a super-high value.

Thanks for catching it! I have CONFIG_HZ=1000, so I guess 1ms == 1 jiffy here.
