Subject: [PATCH 4.14 172/237] random: use proper jiffies comparison macro

From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@...c4.com>

commit 8a5b8a4a4ceb353b4dd5bafd09e2b15751bcdb51 upstream.

This expands to exactly the same code that it replaces, but makes things
consistent by using the same macro for jiffy comparisons throughout.
