Subject: [PATCH 2/5] select: add a timespec_add_safe() function


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
Subject: [PATCH] select: add a timespec_add_safe() function

For the select() rework, it's important to be able to add timespec
structures in an overflow-safe manner.

This patch adds a timespec_add_safe() function for this which is similar in
operation to ktime_add_safe(), but works on a struct timespec.
