Subject: [PATCH 4.4 105/192] [PATCH 109/135] time: Verify time values in adjtimex ADJ_SETOFFSET to avoid overflow

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

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

[ Upstream commit 37cf4dc3370fbca0344e23bb96446eb2c3548ba7 ]

For adjtimex()'s ADJ_SETOFFSET, make sure the tv_usec value is
sane. We might multiply them later which can cause an overflow
and undefined behavior.

This patch introduces new helper functions to simplify the
checking code and adds comments to clarify

Orginally this patch was by Sasha Levin, but I've basically
rewritten it, so he should get credit for finding the issue
and I should get the blame for any mistakes made since.

Also, credit to Richard Cochran for the phrasing used in the
comment for what is considered valid here.
