3.2.49-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanass...@gmail.com> commit 9e04d3804d3ac97d8c03a41d78d0f0674b5d01e1 upstream. Direct compare of jiffies related values does not work in the wrap around case. Replace it with time_is_after_jiffies().
