poll/select: avoid arithmetic overflow in __estimate_accuracy()
__estimate_accuracy() was prone to integer overflow, for example if *tv == {2147, 483648000} on a 32 bit computer (or even for delays as small as {429, 500000000} if the task is niced). Because the result was already forced between 0 and 100ms, the effect of the overflow was not too problematic, but the use of the hrtimer range feature was not optimal in overflow cases. This patch ensures that there can not be an integer overflow in this function.
