So the broken userspace code looks like this:

static inline void get_abs_timeout(struct drm_etnaviv_timespec *tv, uint64_t ns)
{
        struct timespec t;
        uint32_t s = ns / 1000000000;
        clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &t);
        tv->tv_sec = t.tv_sec + s;
        tv->tv_nsec = t.tv_nsec + ns - (s * 1000000000);
}

Which means it _tries_ to do the right thing by putting the billion
part into the tv_sec member and only the remaining ns part is added to
tv_nsec, but then it fails to propagate a tv_nsec overflow over
NSEC_PER_SEC into tv_sec.

Which means the tv_nsec should never be more than 2 * NSEC_PER_SEC in
known userspace. I would prefer if we could make the interface as
strict as possible (i.e. no arbitrary large numbers in tv_nsec), while
keeping this specific corner case working.
