Hi Tina,

The change looks correct to me, but I wonder if we should optimize
this code a little more, as it does two expensive 64-bit divisions.

How about

	remaining_jiffies = msecs_to_jiffies(ktime_ms_delta(*timeout, now));

which only does one 64-bit division, and it's one that we can probably
optimize out in the future (we can check in ktime_ms_delta whether the
difference is more than 2^32 nanoseconds as the fast path).

	Arnd
