Subject: [ 098/115] e1000e: fix numeric overflow in phc settime method

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

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

From: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@...il.com>

commit 73e3dd6b45c4c870fc2641eb04c24e3f12dab1e0 upstream.

The PTP Hardware Clock settime function in the e1000e driver
computes nanoseconds from a struct timespec. The code converts the
seconds field .tv_sec by multiplying it with NSEC_PER_SEC. However,
both operands are of type long, resulting in an unintended overflow.
The patch fixes the issue by using the helper function from time.h.
