mlx5: update timecounter at least twice per counter overflow
[ Upstream commit 5d867836 ] The timecounter needs to be updated at least once in half of the cyclecounter interval to prevent timecounter_cyc2time() interpreting a new timestamp as an old value and causing a backward jump. This would be an issue if the timecounter multiplier was so small that the update interval would not be limited by the 64-bit overflow in multiplication. Shorten the calculated interval to make sure the timecounter is updated in time even when the system clock is slowed down by up to 10%, the multiplier is increased by up to 10%, and the scheduled overflow check is late by 15%.
