jiffies cleanup patch of the day follows. Mostly boring changes of jiffies
comparisons to use time_{before,after} in order to handle jiffies
wraparound correctly.

These cases handle wraparound correctly!!!!

Please stop sending these changes, start thinking about what the
code is doing.

It is comparing a "DIFFERRENCE" not raw jiffy values with each other.
It works just fine.

Franks a lot,
