Subject: [PATCH 20/23] vtime: Always debug check snapshot source _before_ updating it

The vtime delta update performed by get_vtime_delta() always check
that the source of the snapshot is valid.

Meanhile the snapshot updaters that rely on get_vtime_delta() also
set the new snapshot origin. But some of them do this right before
the call to get_vtime_delta(), making its debug check useless.

This is easily fixable by moving the snapshot origin update after
the call to get_vtime_delta(). The order doesn't matter there.
