the compiler cannot discard the multiplication and the division from the
following:
x * 1000 / 1000
due to overflows. But we know that HZ is 1000 in the arch-dependent
param.h, and in sched.c we use the HZ dependent variant:
#ifndef JIFFIES_TO_MSEC
# define JIFFIES_TO_MSEC(x) ((x) * 1000 / HZ)
#endif
#ifndef MSEC_TO_JIFFIES
# define MSEC_TO_JIFFIES(x) ((x) * HZ / 1000)
#endif
