[PATCH 3.2 50/59] tcp: fix wraparound issue in tcp_lp

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.92-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit a9f11f963a546fea9144f6a6d1a307e814a387e7 upstream.

Be careful when comparing tcp_time_stamp to some u32 quantity,
otherwise result can be surprising.

Fixes: 7c106d7e782b ("[TCP]: TCP Low Priority congestion control")
