[PATCH v4 8/8] x86/HPET: don't arbitrarily cap delta in reprogram_hpet_evt_channel()

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@xxxxxxxx>]

There's no reason to set an arbitrary upper bound of 10 seconds. We can
simply set the comparator such that it'll take a whole cycle through all
32-bit values until the next interrupt would be raised. (For an extremely
fast-running HPET [400 MHz and up] 10 seconds would also be too long.)
