time: Avoid potential shift overflow with large shift values

Andreas Schwab noticed that the 1 << tk->shift could overflow if the
shift value was greater than 30, since 1 would be a 32bit long on
32bit architectures. This issue was introduced by 1e75fa8be (time:
Condense timekeeper.xtime into xtime_sec)

Use 1ULL instead to ensure we don't overflow on the shift.
