Subject: [ 032/105] timekeeping: Cast raw_interval to u64 to avoid shift overflow

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 5b3900cd409466c0070b234d941650685ad0c791 upstream.

We fixed a bunch of integer overflows in timekeeping code during the 3.6
cycle.  I did an audit based on that and found this potential overflow.
