Thomas, Ingo,
	Here's a fix against tip/timers/urgent that addresses
timekeeping edge cases detected by both a bad BIOS and system
fuzzing w/ trinity. Thanks to Sasha Levin and CAI Qian for
finding and reporting these!

Let me know if you have any tweaks you want to see.

thanks

Unexpected behavior could occur if the time is set to
a value large enough to overflow a 64bit ktime_t
(which is something larger then the year 2262).

Also unexpected behavior could occur if large negative
offsets are injected via adjtimex.

So this patch improves the sanity check timekeeping inputs
by improving the timespec_valid() check, and then makes better
use of timespec_valid() to make sure we don't set the time to
an invalid negative value or one that overflows ktime_t.

Note: This does not protect from setting the time close to
overflowing ktime_t and then letting natural accumulation
cause the overflow.
