There are ~1150 call sites for msecs_to_jiffies() that:
- Use a multiplier of 1000, or MSEC_PER_SEC, or
- have timeouts that are denominated in seconds, i.e. end in 000

There are yet more sites that use (secs * HZ). Provide secs_to_jiffies()
as a new member of the *_to_jiffies() family and convert a few instances
as a first user.

changelog:
v3:
- Pickup Reviewed-by tag from Luiz Augusto von Dentz
- Add kernel doc comment for secs_to_jiffies() (tglx)

  function due to its potential usage in struct initializers, where it
  wouldn't work per Geert (documentation in changelog requested per tglx)
