[PATCH 2/2] rust: time: Use wrapping_sub() for Ktime::sub()

From: Boqun Feng

Currently since Rust code is compiled with "-Coverflow-checks=y", so a
normal substraction may be compiled as an overflow checking and panic
if overflow happens:

subq %rsi, %rdi
jo .LBB0_2
movq %rdi, %rax
retq
LBB0_2:
pushq %rax
leaq str.0(%rip), %rdi
leaq .L__unnamed_1(%rip), %rdx
movl $33, %esi
callq *core::panicking::panic::h59297120e85ea178@GOTPCREL(%rip)

although overflow detection is nice to have, however this makes
`Ktime::sub()` behave differently than `ktime_sub()`, moreover it's not
clear that the overflow checking is helpful, since for example, the
current binder usage[1] doesn't have the checking.

Therefore make `Ktime::sub()` have the same semantics as `ktime_sub()`:
overflow behaves like 2s-complement wrapping sub.
