NOHZ: prevent multiplication overflow - stop timer for huge timeouts

Browse Source 
get_next_timer_interrupt() returns a delta of (LONG_MAX > 1) in case
there is no timer pending. On 64 bit machines this results in a
multiplication overflow in tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().

Reported by: Dave Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Make the return value a constant and limit the return value to a 32 bit
value.

When the max timeout value is returned, we can safely stop the tick
timer device. The max jiffies delta results in a 12 days timeout for
HZ=1000.

In the long term the get_next_timer_interrupt() code needs to be
reworked to return ktime instead of jiffies, but we have to wait until
the last users of the original NO_IDLE_HZ code are converted.
