Ah, right. Yes, using timespec_valid() instead of timespec_valid_strict()
as initially proposed will address my concerns. Updated commit below.

aio: handle integer overflow in io_getevents() timespec usage

Dmitry Vyukov reported an integer overflow in io_getevents() when
running a fuzzer. Upon investigation, the triggers appears to be that
an invalid value for the tv_sec or tv_nsec was passed in which is not
handled by timespec_to_ktime(). This patch fixes that by making
io_getevents() return -EINVAL when timespec_valid() checks fail. We
use timespec_valid() instead of timespec_valid_strict() to avoid issues
caused by userspace not knowing the cutoff for KTIME_SEC_MAX.
