Stop spurious sotlock messages due to math overflow when TSC
warps coming out of S3.

This is a backport of the upstream commit
8c2eb4805d422bdbf60ba00ff233c794d23c3c00 - the posting states:

Ensure additions on touch_ts do not overflow.  This can occur
when the top 32 bits of the TSC reach 0xffffffff causing
additions to touch_ts to overflow and this in turn generates
spurious softlockup warnings.

Queued for 2.6.32.11. Though might be acceptable pre-stable.

Seems reasonable to me, probabally take this as a pre-stable due to the
beta-2 deadline.
