ptp: improve max_adj check against unreasonable values

[ Upstream commit 475b92f9 ]

Scaled PPM conversion to PPB may (on 64bit systems) result
in a value larger than s32 can hold (freq/scaled_ppm is a long).
This means the kernel will not correctly reject unreasonably
high ->freq values (e.g. > 4294967295ppb, 281474976645 scaled PPM).

The conversion is equivalent to a division by ~66 (65.536),
so the value of ppb is always smaller than ppm, but not small
enough to assume narrowing the type from long -> s32 is okay.

Note that reasonable user space (e.g. ptp4l) will not use such
high values, anyway, 4289046510ppb ~= 4.3x, so the fix is
somewhat pedantic.

Fixes: d39a7435 ("ptp: validate the requested frequency adjustment.")
Fixes: d94ba80e

 ("ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.")
