time: Allow gcc to fold usecs_to_jiffies(constant)

To allow constant folding in usecs_to_jiffies() conditionally calls
the HZ dependent _usecs_to_jiffies() helpers or, when gcc can not
figure out constant folding, __usecs_to_jiffies, which is the renamed
original usecs_to_jiffies() function.

+ * usecs_to_jiffies: - convert microseconds to jiffies
+ * @u: time in microseconds
+ *
+ * conversion is done as follows:
+ *
+ * - 'too large' values [that would result in larger than
+ *   MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET values] mean 'infinite timeout' too.
+ *
+ * - all other values are converted to jiffies by either multiplying
+ *   the input value by a factor or dividing it with a factor and
+ *   handling any 32-bit overflows as for msecs_to_jiffies.
+ *
+ * usecs_to_jiffies() checks for the passed in value being a constant
+ * via __builtin_constant_p() allowing gcc to eliminate most of the
+ * code, __usecs_to_jiffies() is called if the value passed does not
+ * allow constant folding and the actual conversion must be done at
+ * runtime.
+ * the HZ range specific helpers _usecs_to_jiffies() are called both
+ * directly here and from __msecs_to_jiffies() in the case where
+ * constant folding is not possible.
