time: Avoid possible NTP adjustment mult overflow.
Ideally, __clocksource_updatefreq_scale, selects the largest shift value possible for a clocksource. This results in the mult memember of struct clocksource being particularly large, although not so large that NTP would adjust the clock to cause it to overflow. That said, nothing actually prohibits an overflow from occuring, its just that it "shouldn't" occur. So while very unlikely, and so far never observed, the value of (cs->mult+cs->maxadj) may have a chance to reach very near 0xFFFFFFFF, so there is a possibility it may overflow when doing NTP positive adjustment See the following detail: When NTP slewes the clock, kernel goes through update_wall_time()->...->timekeeping_apply_adjustment(): tk->tkr.mult += mult_adj; Since there is no guard against it, its possible tk->tkr.mult may overflow during this operation. This patch avoids any possible mult overflow by judging the overflow case before adding mult_adj to mult, also adds the WARNING message when capturing such case.
