[PATCH v3 4/5] pcapng: handle packets copied before file open

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

Either through misuse of the API, or races it might happen
that rte_pcapng_copy() is called before rte_pcapng_fdopen().

Simplest solution to handle this is to modify the logic for
TSC to nanosecond epoch conversion to handle the case where
the difference is negative.
