Subject: clocksource: Fix abs() usage w/ 64bit values
From: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
commit 67dfae0cd72fec5cd158b6e5fb1647b7dbe0834c upstream.
This patch fixes one cases where abs() was being used with 64-bit
nanosecond values, where the result may be capped at 32-bits.
This potentially could cause watchdog false negatives on 32-bit
systems, so this patch addresses the issue by using abs64().
