[ Upstream commit a4837980fd9fa4c70a821d11831698901baef56b ]

For HZ < 1000 timeout 2000us rounds up to 1 jiffy but expires randomly
because next timer interrupt could come shortly after starting softirq.

For commonly used CONFIG_HZ=1000 nothing changes.

Fixes: 7acf8a1e8a28 ("Replace 2 jiffies with sysctl netdev_budget_usecs to enable softirq tuning")
