    sched, time: Define nsecs_to_jiffies() · b7b20df9

    Use of msecs_to_jiffies() for nsecs_to_cputime() have some
    problems:
    
     - The type of msecs_to_jiffies()'s argument is unsigned int, so
       it cannot convert msecs greater than UINT_MAX = about 49.7 days.
    
     - msecs_to_jiffies() returns MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET if MSB of argument
       is set, assuming that input was negative value.  So it cannot
       convert msecs greater than INT_MAX = about 24.8 days too.
    
    This patch defines a new function nsecs_to_jiffies() that can
    deal greater values, and that can deal all incoming values as
    unsigned.
