The previous clocks_calc_max_nsecs() code had some unecessarily complex bit logic to find the max interval that could cause multiplication overflows. Since this is not in the hot path, just do the divide to make it easier to read. The previous implementation also had a subtle issue that it avoided overflows with signed 64-bit values, where as the intervals are always unsigned. This resulted in overly conservative intervals, which other safety margins were then added to, reducing the intended interval length.
