jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflow

commit 5a581b3 upstream.

According to the C standard 3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results
in undefined behavior.  This commit therefore changes the definitions
of time_after(), time_after_eq(), time_after64(), and time_after_eq64()
to avoid this undefined behavior.  The trick is that the subtraction
is done using unsigned arithmetic, which according to 6.2.5p9 cannot
overflow because it is defined as modulo arithmetic.  This has the added
(though admittedly quite small) benefit of shortening four lines of code
by four characters each.

Note that the C standard considers the cast from unsigned to
signed to be implementation-defined, see 6.3.1.3p3.  However, on a
two's-complement system, an implementation that defines anything other
than a reinterpretation of the bits is free to come to me, and I will be
happy to act as a witness for its being committed to an insane asylum.
(Although I have nothing against saturating arithmetic or signals in some
cases, these things really should not be the default when compiling an
operating-system kernel.)
