ipset: Adjust the maximum timeout jiffies of set timeout extension

Refer to: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=764328

Marek Lukács has reported that the set with huge default timeout,
2419200 as an example, is replaced by 4294967 which is non-sense.

The msecs_to_jiffies() in kernel/time/time.c has a condition that

500 unsigned long msecs_to_jiffies(const unsigned int m)
501 {
502         /*
503          * Negative value, means infinite timeout:
504          */
505         if ((int)m < 0)
506                 return MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET;

Therefore, the maximum timeout jiffies should be less than or equal to
((UINT_MAX >> 1)) / MSEC_PER_SEC.

There has just been a thread about it on this mailing list. I better 
create a workaround to remove the limitation at ipset level, to support 
huge timeout values.

Best regards,
