Subject: net/mlx5e: Fix wrong delay calculation for overflow check scheduling

From: Eugenia Emantayev <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit d439c84509a510e864fdc6166c760482cd03fc57 ]

The overflow_period is calculated in seconds. In order to use it for delayed work scheduling translation to jiffies is needed.

Fixes ef9814deafd0 ('net/mlx5e: Add HW timestamping (TS) support')
