Something like the below should be enough to explain the value

/*
 * min_vruntime can move forward much faster than real time. The worst case
 * happens when an entity with the min weight always runs on the cfs rq. In this
 * case, the max comparison between vruntime and min_vruntime can fail after a
 * sleep greater than :
 *     (1ull << 63) / NICE_0_LOAD) * MIN_SHARES
 * We can simplify this to :
 *     (1ull << 63) / NICE_0_LOAD)
 */
#define SLEEP_VRUNTIME_OVERFLOW  ((1ull << 63) / NICE_0_LOAD)
