sched, time: Define nsecs_to_jiffies()
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.
