Subject: [PATCH] fs/ext4/inode-test: Fix inode test on 32 bit platforms.

Fixes the issue caused by the fact that in C in the expression
of the form -1234L only 1234L is the actual literal, the unary
minus is an operation applied to the literal. Which means that
to express the lower bound for the type one has to negate the
upper bound and subtract 1.
Original error:
Expected test_data[i].expected.tv_sec == timestamp.tv_sec, but
test_data[i].expected.tv_sec == -2147483648
timestamp.tv_sec == 2147483648
