As I understand (and tested), clocks_calc_mult_shift() will
return max possible mult which can be used without overflow.

Yes, BUT the returned values depends on the @maxsec input.  As the
kerneldec says,

 * Larger ranges may reduce the conversion accuracy by chosing smaller
 * mult and shift factors.

In addition to that, frequency tuning by calculating a percentage of
'mult', and if 'mult' is small, then the tuning resolution is poor.

So we don't want @maxsec as large as possible, but as small as
possible.


Ok. So, will it work if maxsec will be ~= (maxsec / 2) + 1?
+ 1 to cover potential delays of overflow check work execution.
