[PATCH 2/2] Dynamic Tick: Allow 32-bit machines to sleep for more than 2.15 seconds

[Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@ti.com>]

In the dynamic tick code, "max_delta_ns" (member of the 
"clock_event_device" structure) represents the maximum sleep time that 
can occur between timer events in nanoseconds.

The variable, "max_delta_ns", is defined as an unsigned long which is a 
32-bit integer for 32-bit machines and a 64-bit integer for 64-bit 
machines (if -m64 option is used for gcc). The value of max_delta_ns is 
set by calling the function "clockevent_delta2ns()" which returns a 
maximum value of LONG_MAX. For a 32-bit machine LONG_MAX is equal to 
0x7fffffff and in nanoseconds this equates to ~2.15 seconds. Hence, the 
maximum sleep time for a 32-bit machine is ~2.15 seconds, where as for a 
64-bit machine it will be many years.

This patch changes the type of max_delta_ns to be "unsigned long long" 
instead of "unsigned long" so that this variable is a 64-bit type for 
both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. It also changes the maximum value 
returned by clockevent_delta2ns() to LLONG_MAX. Hence this allows a 
32-bit machine to sleep for longer than ~2.15 seconds. Please note that 
this patch changes "min_delta_ns" to be "unsigned long long" as well and 
although this is probably unnecessary, it makes the patch simpler.
