Re: [UPDATE PATCH] push rounding up of relative request to schedule_timeout()

Sorry, I forgot that sys_nanosleep() also always adds 1 to the request
(to account for this same issue, I believe, as POSIX demands no early
return from nanosleep() calls). There are some other locations where
similar

	+ (t.tv_sec || t.tv_nsec)

This is not the same as "always add 1". We don't do it this way just to have fun with C. If you change schedule_timeout() to add the 1, nanosleep() will need to do things differently to get the same behavior. (And, YES users do pass in zero sleep times.)
