Subject: [PATCH 5.0 065/117] alarmtimer: Return correct remaining time

From: Andrei Vagin <avagin@...il.com>

commit 07d7e12091f4ab869cc6a4bb276399057e73b0b3 upstream.

To calculate a remaining time, it's required to subtract the current time
from the expiration time. In alarm_timer_remaining() the arguments of
ktime_sub are swapped.

Fixes: d653d8457c76 ("alarmtimer: Implement remaining callback")
