time: Verify time values in adjtimex ADJ_SETOFFSET to avoid overflow
[ Upstream commit 37cf4dc3370fbca0344e23bb96446eb2c3548ba7 ] For adjtimex()'s ADJ_SETOFFSET, make sure the tv_usec value is sane. We might multiply them later which can cause an overflow and undefined behavior. This patch introduces new helper functions to simplify the checking code and adds comments to clarify Orginally this patch was by Sasha Levin, but I've basically rewritten it, so he should get credit for finding the issue and I should get the blame for any mistakes made since. Also, credit to Richard Cochran for the phrasing used in the comment for what is considered valid here.
