[PATCH v2] timer: prevent overflow in apply_slack

[Jiri Bohac <jbohac@suse.cz>]

On architectures with sizeof(int) < sizeof (long), the
computation of mask inside apply_slack() can be undefined if the
computed bit is > 32.

E.g. with: expires = 0xffffe6f5 and slack = 25, we get:

expires_limit = 0x20000000e
bit = 33
mask = (1 << 33) - 1  /* undefined */

On x86, mask becomes 1 and and the slack is not applied properly.
On s390, mask is -1, expires is set to 0 and the timer fires immediately.
