Subject[PATCH]: Fix regression added by ppoll/pselect code.
From

The compat layer timeout handling changes in:

9f72949f679df06021c9e43886c9191494fdb007

are busted. This is most easily seen with an X application
that uses sub-second select/poll timeout such as emacs. You
hit a key and it takes a second or so before the app responds.

The two ROUND_UP() calls upon entry are using {tv,ts}_sec where it
should instead be using {tv_usec,ts_nsec}, which perfectly explains
the observed incorrect behavior.

Another bug shot down with git bisect.
