3.13.11-ckt30 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let 
me know.

------------------

From: John Stultz <[email protected]>

commit 67dfae0cd72fec5cd158b6e5fb1647b7dbe0834c upstream.

This patch fixes one cases where abs() was being used with 64-bit
nanosecond values, where the result may be capped at 32-bits.

This potentially could cause watchdog false negatives on 32-bit
systems, so this patch addresses the issue by using abs64().
