Ok, I guess we need to revert it. Although it might be interesting to
add a WARN_ON_ONCE() for the case of timespec_valid() returning false,
to just see exactly *where* that thing triggers. Could you do that? In
fact, do it with separate WARN_ON_ONCE's for each of the reasons that
function returns false, so that we also see which check it is that
triggers. Ok?
