Limit max timeout value to (UINT_MAX >> 1)/MSEC_PER_SEC
Due to the negative value condition in msecs_to_jiffies(), the real max possible timeout value must be set to (UINT_MAX >> 1)/MSEC_PER_SEC. Neutron Soutmun proposed the proper fix, but an insufficient one was applied, see https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/400405/.
