[PATCH 3.16 003/134] staging: comedi: jr3_pci: cope with jiffies wraparound

From: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk>

commit 8ec04a491825e08068e92bed0bba7821893b6433 upstream.

The timer expiry routine `jr3_pci_poll_dev()` checks for expiry by
checking whether the absolute value of `jiffies` (stored in local
variable `now`) is greater than the expected expiry time in jiffy units.
This will fail when `jiffies` wraps around. Also, it seems to make
sense to handle the expiry one jiffy earlier than the current test. Use
`time_after_eq()` to check for expiry.
