[v2] hwmon: (xgene-hwmon) use appropriate type for the latency value

From: Andrey Vatoropin <[e-mail]>

The expression PCC_NUM_RETRIES * pcc_chan->latency is currently being
evaluated using 32-bit arithmetic.

Since a value of type 'u64' is used to store the eventual result,
and this result is later sent to the function usecs_to_jiffies with 
input parameter unsigned int, the current data type is too wide to 
store the value of ctx->usecs_lat.

Change the data type of "usecs_lat" to a more suitable (narrower) type.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

v1->v2: rework the patch by utilizing more appropriate data types for
the variables in question as Guenter Roeck noticed.
