vdso: Make delta calculation overflow safe
Kernel timekeeping is designed to keep the change in cycles (since the last
timer interrupt) below max_cycles, which prevents multiplication overflow
when converting cycles to nanoseconds. However, if timer interrupts stop,
the calculation will eventually overflow.
Add protection against that, enabled by config option
CONFIG_GENERIC_VDSO_OVERFLOW_PROTECT. Check against max_cycles, falling
back to a slower higher precision calculation.
