[PATCH] fix potential 32bits truncation for result of timespec/timeval_compare()

[PATCH] fix potential 32bits truncation for result of timespec/timeval_compare()

[Li Yu]

The tv_nsec field of timespec struct and tv_usec field of timeval
struct are defined as long type, but two comparison API return int
type of result value, this may result in wrong result.

This simple patch fixed it, thanks
