Subject[PATCH 3.2 090/152] time: adjtimex: Validate the ADJ_FREQUENCY values
3.2.67-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com>

commit 5e5aeb4367b450a28f447f6d5ab57d8f2ab16a5f upstream.

Verify that the frequency value from userspace is valid and makes sense.

Unverified values can cause overflows later on.
