[PATCH] Fix multiple conversion bugs in msecs_to_jiffies
Fix multiple conversion bugs in msecs_to_jiffies().
The main problem is that this condition:
if (m > jiffies_to_msecs(MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET))
overflows if HZ is smaller than 1000!
This change is user-visible: for HZ=250 SUS-compliant poll()-timeout
value of -20 is mistakenly converted to 'immediate timeout'.
(The new dyntick code also triggered this, that's how we noticed.)
