[PATCH 2/2] nvme-tcp: validate the TLS handshake timeout

tls_handshake_timeout is writable but stored as a signed int. Multiplying
the value by MSEC_PER_SEC and HZ therefore uses signed arithmetic.
With HZ=1000, setting it to 2147484 overflows both multiplications. If
the handshake request is accepted and its completion remains pending,
schedule_timeout() reports a wrong timeout value with a stack dump and
returns zero. The handshake then fails immediately with -ETIMEDOUT, while
the handshake agent was given about 24.9 days. Negative values such as -1
have the same kernel-side effect.
Store the parameter as an unsigned int and reject values that cannot be
represented both by tls_handshake_args::ta_timeout_ms and by a safe
jiffies delay. Take one snapshot so a concurrent parameter update cannot
give the handshake agent and completion wait different timeouts.
Negative and oversized values now fail with -EINVAL. Keep zero valid,
preserving the existing immediate-timeout behavior.
Fixes: be8e82caa685 ("nvme-tcp: enable TLS handshake upcall")
