`muldiv64` would overflow in cases where the final 96-bit value does not
fit in a `uint64_t`. This would result in small values that cause an
interrupt to be triggered much sooner than intended.
The overflow can be detected in most cases by checking if the new value is
smaller than the previous value. If the final result is larger than
`diff` it is either correct or it doesn't matter as it is effectively
infinite anyways.
`next` is an `uint64_t` value, but `timer_mod` takes an `int64_t`. This
resulted in high values such as `UINT64_MAX` being converted to `-1`,
which caused an immediate timer interrupt.
By limiting `next` to `INT64_MAX` no overflow will happen while the
timer will still be effectively set to "infinitely" far in the future.
