Subject: [PATCH 02/11] Implement timespec_add

After accidentally misusing timespec_add_safe, I wanted to make sure
we don't accidently trip over that issue again, so I created a simple
timespec_add() function which we can use to replace the instances
of timespec_add_safe() that don't want the overflow detection.
