Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 085/110] cdc_ncm: Fix tx_bytes statistics

3.16.7-ckt13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: =?UTF-8?q?Bj=C3=B8rn=20Mork?= <bjorn@...k.no>

commit 44f6731d8b68fa02f5ed65eaceac41f8c3c9279e upstream.

The tx_curr_frame_payload field is u32. When we try to calculate a
small negative delta based on it, we end up with a positive integer
close to 2^32 instead.  So the tx_bytes pointer increases by about
2^32 for every transmitted frame.

Fix by calculating the delta as a signed long.
