drop underscore from the static function

use the default 1000 here to simplify the callers

I'd do the calculation in usecs

        duration_usec = duration_seconds * USEC_PER_SEC * 1000 / hz;

so that actual duration is more precise (for hz=300 which is the only
that doesn't divide 1000)

All in all, make the adjustments for HZ with less code (since I expect
this will need adjustments for SMPs in future).

Thanks,
Michal
