Wang Yan 269f2b43fa time: Fix off-by-one in compat settimeofday() usec validation
The compat version of settimeofday() uses '>' instead of '>=' when
validating tv_usec against USEC_PER_SEC, allowing the value 1000000 to pass
the check. After the subsequent conversion to nanoseconds (tv_nsec *=
NSEC_PER_USEC), this results in tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC, which violates the
timespec invariant that tv_nsec must be strictly less than NSEC_PER_SEC.

The native settimeofday() was already fixed in commit ce4abda5e1 ("time:
Fix off-by-one in settimeofday() usec validation"), but the compat
counterpart was missed.

Fix it by using '>=' to reject tv_usec values outside the valid range [0,
USEC_PER_SEC - 1].
