From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
nbd_set_cmd_timeout() stores timeout * HZ into tag_set.timeout, an
unsigned int, and passes the same product to blk_queue_rq_timeout()
without any range check. A large timeout (2^32 seconds, say)
truncates to 0 instead of being a very long timeout.
Clamp the timeout to UINT_MAX / HZ seconds first.
Setting NBD_SET_TIMEOUT to 2^32 left the debugfs timeout at 0 before
this change and at 4294967000 after it.
Fixes: 55313e92bd17 ("nbd: add set cmd timeout helper")
