While converting users of msecs_to_jiffies(), lkp reported that some
range checks would always be true because of the mismatch between the
implied int value of secs_to_jiffies() vs the unsigned long
return value of the msecs_to_jiffies() calls it was replacing. Fix this
by casting secs_to_jiffies() values as unsigned long.

Could you just switch the fun to an inline instead?
