[ Upstream commit d897a4ab11dc8a9fda50d2eccc081a96a6385998 ]
Don't allow the TAI-UTC offset of the system clock to be set by adjtimex() to a value larger than 100000 seconds.
This prevents an overflow in the conversion to int, prevents the CLOCK_TAI clock from getting too far ahead of the CLOCK_REALTIME clock, and it is still large enough to allow leap seconds to be inserted at the maximum rate currently supported by the kernel (once per day) for the next ~270 years, however unlikely it is that someone can survive a catastrophic event which slowed down the rotation of the Earth so much.
