[PATCH 4/6] time: Avoid undefined behaviour in timespec64_add_safe()

[John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>]

From: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com>

I ran into this:

Line 783 is this:

783         set_normalized_timespec64(&res, lhs.tv_sec + rhs.tv_sec,
784                         lhs.tv_nsec + rhs.tv_nsec);

In other words, since lhs.tv_sec and rhs.tv_sec are both time64_t, this
is a signed addition which will cause undefined behaviour on overflow.

Note that this is not currently a huge concern since the kernel should be
built with -fno-strict-overflow by default, but could be a problem in the
future, a problem with older compilers, or other compilers than gcc.

The easiest way to avoid the overflow is to cast one of the arguments to
unsigned (so the addition will be done using unsigned arithmetic).
