[U-Boot] [PATCH] time: fix usec_to_tick()

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>

Commit 8dfafdde88eb ("Introduce common timer functions") created a
common definition of usec_to_tick() which had a couple problems:

static unsigned long long usec_to_tick(unsigned long usec)
{
       uint64_t tick = usec * get_tbclk();

That likely overflows.

       usec *= get_tbclk();

That was an attempt to fix it by performing the multiply after the
promotion of usec to 64-bit, but was applied to the wrong variable,
which was never used.

This patch fixes these issues. A user-visible symptom of the problem was
the e.g. "dhcp zImage" using an ASIX USB Ethernet dongle would print:

Waiting for Ethernet connection... unable to connect.

... with no delay before "unable to connect". There are likely other
symptoms.
