6.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Easwar Hariharan <eahariha@linux.microsoft.com>

commit b35108a51cf7bab58d7eace1267d7965978bcdb8 upstream.

secs_to_jiffies() is defined in hci_event.c and cannot be reused by
other call sites. Hoist it into the core code to allow conversion of the
~1150 usages of msecs_to_jiffies() that either:

 - use a multiplier value of 1000 or equivalently MSEC_PER_SEC, or
 - have timeouts that are denominated in seconds (i.e. end in 000)

It's implemented as a macro to allow usage in static initializers.

This will also allow conversion of yet more sites that use (sec * HZ)
directly, and improve their readability.
