[PATCH] time: Move ktime_t overflow checking intotimespec_valid_strict

[John Stultz]

Andreas Bombe reported that the added ktime_t overflow
checking added to timespec_valid in commit 4e8b14526
was causing problems with X.org because it caused
timeouts larger then KTIME_T to be invalid.

Previously, these large timeouts would be clamped
to KTIME_MAX and would never expire, which is valid.

This patch splits the ktime_t overflow checking into
a new timespec_valid_strict function, and converts
the timekeeping code's checking to use this more
strict function.
