nohz: Allow 32-bit machines to sleep for more than 2.15 seconds

In the dynamic tick code, "max_delta_ns" (member of the
"clock_event_device" structure) represents the maximum sleep time
that can occur between timer events in nanoseconds.

The variable, "max_delta_ns", is defined as an unsigned long
which is a 32-bit integer for 32-bit machines and a 64-bit
integer for 64-bit machines (if -m64 option is used for gcc).
The value of max_delta_ns is set by calling the function
"clockevent_delta2ns()" which returns a maximum value of LONG_MAX.
For a 32-bit machine LONG_MAX is equal to 0x7fffffff and in
nanoseconds this equates to ~2.15 seconds. Hence, the maximum
sleep time for a 32-bit machine is ~2.15 seconds, where as for
a 64-bit machine it will be many years.

This patch changes the type of max_delta_ns to be "u64" instead of
"unsigned long" so that this variable is a 64-bit type for both 32-bit
and 64-bit machines. It also changes the maximum value returned by
clockevent_delta2ns() to KTIME_MAX.  Hence this allows a 32-bit
machine to sleep for longer than ~2.15 seconds. Please note that this
patch also changes "min_delta_ns" to be "u64" too and although this is
unnecessary, it makes the patch simpler as it avoids to fixup all
callers of clockevent_delta2ns().

[ tglx: changed "unsigned long long" to u64 as we use this data type
  	through out the time code ]
