Add a check for the given tv_usec, so that the value stays below one second.
Additionally limit the tv_sec value to a reasonable value for CAN related
use-cases of 400 days and ensure all values to be positive.

This patch is the pre-4.8 version of upstream commit 93171ba6f1deffd8

I can't find this commit id upstream, there's nothing with the same
subject name, nor does this code exist upstream. What's going on?
