alarmtimer: Prevent overflow of relative timers
Andrey reported a alartimer related RCU stall while fuzzing the kernel with
syzkaller.
The reason for this is an overflow in ktime_add() which brings the
resulting time into negative space and causes immediate expiry of the
timer. The following rearm with a small interval does not bring the timer
back into positive space due to the same issue.
This results in a permanent firing alarmtimer which hogs the CPU.
Use ktime_add_safe() instead which detects the overflow and clamps the
result to KTIME_SEC_MAX.
