[PATCH 4.14 264/323] NFS: Deal correctly with attribute generation counter overflow

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 9fdbfad1777cb4638f489eeb62d85432010c0031 ]

We need to use unsigned long subtraction and then convert to signed in
order to deal correcly with C overflow rules.

Fixes: f5062003465c ("NFS: Set an attribute barrier on all updates")
