I think we may be able to eliminate this cast by using c_int for the
integer type.

Here, we're casting u64->long and then long->u64. How about this?

u64->long - Use timeout.try_into().unwrap_or(MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT),
since MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT is LONG_MAX.

long->u64 - This value is guaranteed to be less than the argument
passed to schedule_timeout. Use .into() for infallible cast.
