[PATCH] iio: inkern: Avoid risky abs() usage in iio_multiply_value()

[Romain Gantois]

iio_multiply_value() passes integers val and val2 directly to abs(). This
is problematic because if a signed argument to abs is the lowest value for
its type, then the result is undefined due to overflow.

Cast val and val2 to s64 before passing them to abs() to avoid this issue.
