Subject: [34-longterm 034/209] um: fix global timer issue when using CONFIG_NO_HZ

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@....at>

  =====================================================================
  | This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release. |
  | If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.|
  =====================================================================

commit 482db6df1746c4fa7d64a2441d4cb2610249c679 upstream.

This fixes a issue which was introduced by fe2cc53e ("uml: track and make
up lost ticks").

timeval_to_ns() returns long long and not int.  Due to that UML's timer
did not work properlt and caused timer freezes.
