[PATCH] poll/select: avoid arithmetic overflow in__estimate_accuracy()

[Guillaume Knispel]

__estimate_accuracy() was prone to integer overflow, for example
if *tv == {2147, 483648000} on a 32 bit computer (or even for delays
as small as {429, 500000000} if the task is niced).

Because the result was already forced between 0 and 100ms, the effect
of the overflow was not too problematic, but the use of the hrtimer
range feature was not optimal in overflow cases.

This patch ensures that there can not be an integer overflow in this
function.
