Subject: [ 42/60] drm: Dont pass negative delta to ktime_sub_ns()

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michel Dänzer <michel.daenzer@....com>

commit e91abf80a0998f326107874c88d549f94839f13c upstream.

It takes an unsigned value. This happens not to blow up on 64-bit
architectures, but it does on 32-bit, causing
drm_calc_vbltimestamp_from_scanoutpos() to calculate totally bogus
timestamps for vblank events. Which in turn causes e.g. gnome-shell to
hang after a DPMS off cycle with current xf86-video-ati Git.

[airlied: regression introduced in drm: use monotonic time in drm_calc_vbltimestamp_from_scanoutpos]
