time: Handle negative seconds correctly in timespec64_to_ns()
timespec64_ns() prevents multiplication overflows by comparing the seconds value of the timespec to KTIME_SEC_MAX. If the value is greater or equal it returns KTIME_MAX. But that check casts the signed seconds value to unsigned which makes the comparision true for all negative values and therefore return wrongly KTIME_MAX. Negative second values are perfectly valid and required in some places, e.g. ptp_clock_adjtime(). Remove the cast and add a check for the negative boundary which is required to prevent undefined behaviour due to multiplication underflow.
