ktime_set() does not check for nanoseconds > one second

Hi,

is it intentional that ktime_set() does not check whether the
nanoseconds argument is greater than the number of nanoseconds in a
second? I've run into a problem where a value of 1600000000
nanoseconds was passed as an argument to ktime_set() and the return
value was then used in a ktime_add() call, which returned an incorrect
result. Should the caller of ktime_set() make this check or is it
possible to move this logic in to the function itself?
