Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: fix incorrect route 'expires' value passed to userspace.


When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with a already
expired route entry, we always got an 'expires' value(2147157)
calculated base on INT_MAX.

The reason of this problem is in the following satement:
	rt->dst.expires - jiffies < INT_MAX
gcc promoted the type of both sides of '<' to unsigned long, thus
a small negative value would be considered greater than INT_MAX.

This patch fix this by cast the result of subtraction to an 'int'
which I think is large enough for the expires.

Also we should do some fix in rtnl_put_cacheinfo() which use
jiffies_to_clock_t(which take an unsigned log as parameter) to
convert jiffies to clock_t to handle the negative expires.
