[PATCH 18/18] vtime: Always debug check snapshot source _before_ updating it

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Wed Jul 17 2013 - 12:45:44 EST


The vtime delta update performed by get_vtime_delta() always check
that the source of the snapshot is valid.

Meanhile the snapshot updaters that rely on get_vtime_delta() also
set the new snapshot origin. But some of them do this right before
the call to get_vtime_delta(), making its debug check useless.

This is easily fixable by moving the snapshot origin update after
the call to get_vtime_delta(). The order doesn't matter there.
