Subject: [PATCH] alarmtimer: Prevent overflow for relative nanosleep

Air Icy reported:

  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in kernel/time/alarmtimer.c:811:7
  signed integer overflow:
  1529859276030040771 + 9223372036854775807 cannot be represented in type 'long long int'
  Call Trace:

alarm_timer_nsleep() uses ktime_add() to add the current time and the
relative expiry value. ktime_add() has no sanity checks so the addition
can overflow when the relative timeout is large enough.

Use ktime_add_safe() which has the necessary sanity checks in place and
limits the result to the valid range.

Fixes: 9a7adcf5c6de ("timers: Posix interface for alarm-timers")
