In get_guest_rtc_ns(), "s->base_rtc" is uint64_t, which multiplied by
"NANOSECONDS_PER_SECOND" may overflow the uint64_t type, which will
cause the QEMU Linux Virtual Machine's RTC time to jump and in turn
triggers a kernel Soft Lockup and ultimately leads to a crash.

Fix it by avoiding adding s->base_rtc in get_guest_rtc_ns_offset(),
because get_guest_rtc_ns() is used either take the remainder of
NANOSECONDS_PER_SECOND or take the quotient of NANOSECONDS_PER_SECOND.
