pps: don't try to wait for negative timeouts in PPS_FETCH

If userspace passes a negative timeout to PPS_FETCH, it triggers a kernel
splat from schedule_timeout():

Here is a trivial reproducer that works with the PPS_CLIENT_KTIMER test
device enabled in the kernel:

    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <sys/ioctl.h>
    #include <linux/pps.h>
    #include <err.h>

    int main() {
        struct pps_fdata fdata;
        int fd;

        fd = open("/dev/pps0", O_RDWR);
        if (fd == -1)
            err(1, "Failed to open /dev/pps0");

        fdata.timeout.sec = -1;
        fdata.timeout.nsec = 0;

        if (ioctl(fd, PPS_FETCH, &fdata))
            err(2, "PPS_FETCH failed");

        close(fd);
        return 0;
    }

Sashiko imagines this to be some sort of security problem, which is
obviously really silly.  But I think it is still worth fixing, so buggy
userspace code can't trigger the splat.

Silence the splat by using timespec64_to_jiffies(), which hard limits the
timeout to LONG_MAX jiffies.  To be safe, explicitly preserve the
-ETIMEDOUT return value userspace sees today if it passes a negative
timeout.

If you really squint, this is still a slight behavior change in that there
are "denormalized" combinations of tv_sec and tv_nsec which used to work
but will now return -ETIMEDOUT.  I can't imagine anybody will care about
that...
