Yeah, I should have had my morning coffee before hitting send. Updated
below, and hopefully final. Checked with a test program to confirm that
the huge value of seconds in timespec correctly waits, and that negative
or other invalid values fail with EINVAL (download from
http://www.kvack.org/~bcrl/aio-io_getevents-timespec.c ).

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.
