Francois Romieu df1c941468 net: avoid overflow when rose /proc displays timer information.
rose /proc code does not serialize timer accesses.

Initial report by Bernard F6BVP Pidoux exhibits overflow amounting
to 116 ticks on its HZ=250 system.

Full timer access serialization would imho be overkill as rose /proc
does not enforce consistency between displayed ROSE_STATE_XYZ and
timer values during changes of state.

The patch may also fix similar behavior in ax25 /proc, ax25 ioctl
and netrom /proc as they all exhibit the same timer serialization
policy. This point has not been reported though.

The sole remaining use of ax25_display_timer - ax25 rtt valuation -
may also perform marginally better but I have not analyzed it too
deeply.
