select: add poll_select_set_timeout() and poll_select_copy_remaining() helpers
This patch adds 2 helpers that will be used for the hrtimer based select/poll: poll_select_set_timeout() is a helper that takes a timeout (as a second, nanosecond pair) and turns that into a "struct timespec" that represents the absolute end time. This is a common operation in the many select() and poll() variants and needs various, common, sanity checks. poll_select_copy_remaining() is a helper that takes care of copying the remaining time to userspace, as select(), pselect() and ppoll() do. This function comes in both a natural and a compat implementation (due to datastructure differences).
