dn_dev: Use time_before

The functions time_before, time_before_eq, time_after, and time_after_eq are more robust for comparing jiffies against other values. A simplified version of the Coccinelle semantic patch making this change is as follows: @change@ expression E1,E2; @@ ( - (jiffies - E1) < E2 + time_before(jiffies, E1+E2) ) Signed-off-by: Himangi Saraogi <[email protected]> Acked-by: Julia Lawall <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
