I looked at the calculation we do later, and I think this can still overflow
if tv_nsec is too large. The largest timespec value we can support is

(struct timespec64) { .tv_sec = 9223372036, .tv_nsec = 854775807 }

Your patch caps the tv_sec value to 9223372036, but it does not
cap the tv_nsec. The easiest fix would be to always set tv_nsec
to 0 if tv_sec>=9223372036, or a more correct calculation would
have to limit tv_nsec if tv_sec==9223372036. I don't know if that
matters or not (it should not, unless we explicitly compare the
ktime_t for equality with KTIME_MAX later).
