time: Prevent 32 bit overflow with set_normalized_timespec()
set_normalized_timespec() nsec argument is of type long. The recent timekeeping changes of ktime_get_ts() feed ts->tv_nsec + tomono.tv_nsec + nsecs to set_normalized_timespec(). On 32 bit machines that sum can be larger than (1 << 31) and therefor result in a negative value which screws up the result completely. Make the nsec argument of set_normalized_timespec() s64 to fix the problem at hand. This also prevents similar problems for future users of set_normalized_timespec().
