[RFC][PATCH 2/5] time: Fix abs() usage with 64-bit values.

[John Stultz]

This patch fixes a usage of abs() with a 64-bit value which could
truncate the result to 32-bits, by replacing it with abs64().

In this case, its unlikely any issue could have been caused by
this, since we're calculating a second delta, which wouldn't be
larger then 32-bit.
