Subject: [PATCH] firmware_loader: prevent integer overflow in firmware_loading_timeout()

In firmware_loading_timeout(), *int* result of __firmware_loading_timeout()
multiplied by HZ might overflow before being implicitly cast to *long* when
being returned. Rewrite the function using check_mul_overflow() and capping
the result at LONG_MAX on actual overflow...

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.

The patch is against the commit 78f4e737a53e1163ded2687a922fce138aee73f5 in
Linus Torvalds' linux.git repo -- that's the most recent commit I could get
(git {fetch,pull} from git.kernel stopped working for me first with git://
and then with https:// protocol)...
