clocksource: extend the max_delta_ns of timer-riscv and timer-clint to ULONG_MAX
When registering the riscv-timer or clint-timer as a clock_event device, the driver needs to specify the value of max_delta_ticks. This value directly influences the max_delta_ns, which represents the maximum time interval for configuring subsequent clock events. Currently, both riscv-timer and clint-timer are set with a max_delta_ticks value of 0x7fff_ffff. When the timer operates at a high frequency, this values limists the system to sleep only for a short time. For the 1GHz case, the sleep cannot exceed two seconds. To address this limitation, refer to other timer implementations to extend it to 2^(bit-width of the timer) - 1. Because the bit-width of $mtimecmp is 64bit, this value becomes ULONG_MAX (0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff).
