When executing a date command to set the system date and time to a few
seconds before the 2038 problem expiration time, we got a WARN_ON_ONCE()
like this:

  root at renesas:~# date -s "2038-1-19 3:14:00"
  Tue Jan 19 03:14:00 GMT 2038
  (then wait for 7-8 seconds)

  [   27.857330] hrtimer: interrupt took 0 ns

This is triggered with our v3.4-based custom ARM kernel, but we
confirmed that v3.10-rc can still have the same problem.

I found a similar issue fixed in v3.9 by Prarit Bhargava in commit
8f294b5a13 (hrtimer: Add expiry time overflow check in hrtimer_interrupt,
2013-04-08).  It tried to resolve a overflow issue detected around 1970
+ 100 seconds.

On the other hand, we have another call site of tick_program_event() at
the bottom of hrtimer_interrupt().  The warning this time is triggered
there, so we need to apply the same fix to it.

Hi Prarit-san and John-san,

http://git.kernel.org/linus/8f294b5a139ee4b75e890ad5b443c93d1e558a8b
hrtimer: Add expiry time overflow check in hrtimer_interrupt

I tried to fix the other case of overflow issues in hrtimer_interrupt(),
but not sure it should be worked around like this in the first place.

Any comments are appreciated, thanks in advance.
