[PATCH 2/3] 2.6.14-rc2-mm1: fixes for overflow in epoll()

[Willy Tarreau <willy@w.ods.org>]

This patch fixes the potential timeout overflow in ep_poll(), tries to get
the best timeout and also removes the /1000 divide whenever possible. It
mostly ensures that timeout computation is uniform with other places in the
kernel.

This patch applies both to 2.6.14-rc2-mm1 and 2.6.14-rc2.

Please review and apply.
