[ 27/38] timer: Fix jiffies wrap behavior of round_jiffies_common()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 9e04d3804d3ac97d8c03a41d78d0f0674b5d01e1 upstream.

Direct compare of jiffies related values does not work in the wrap
around case. Replace it with time_is_after_jiffies().
