hrtimer: check relative timeouts for overflow

commit: 5a7780e725d1bb4c3094fcc12f1c5c5faea1e988

Various user space callers ask for relative timeouts. While we fixed
that overflow issue in hrtimer_start(), the sites which convert
relative user space values to absolute timeouts themself were uncovered.

Instead of putting overflow checks into each place add a function
which does the sanity checking and convert all affected callers to use
it.

Thanks to Frans Pop, who reported the problem and tested the fixes.
