Fix the hrtimer_add_expires_ns() function. It should take a 'u64 ns' argument,
but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits.
On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes
the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler
discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was
called directly.
