timekeeping: Make delta calculation overflow safe

Kernel timekeeping is designed to keep the change in cycles (since the last
timer interrupt) below max_cycles, which prevents multiplication overflow
when converting cycles to nanoseconds. However, if timer interrupts stop,
the calculation will eventually overflow.

Add protection against that. In timekeeping_cycles_to_ns() calculation,
check against max_cycles, falling back to a slower higher precision
calculation. In timekeeping_forward_now(), process delta in chunks of at
most max_cycles.
