Subject[PATCH] Fix chance of sign extension to nsec after its msb is set during calculation.
Date
From: Liav Rehana <liavr@mellanox.com>

During the calculation of the nsec variable, "delta * tkr->mult" may cause
overflow to the msb, if the suspended time is too long.
In that case, we need to guarantee that the variable will not go through a
sign extension during its shift, and thus it will result in a much higher
value - close to the larget value of 64 bits.
The following commit fixes this problem, which causes the following bug:
Trying to connect through ftp to the os after a long enough suspended time
will cause the nsec variable to get a much higher value after its shift
because of sign extension, and thus the loop that follows some instructions
afterwards, implemented in the inline function __iter_div_u64_rem, will
take too long.
