Subject: [net-next 03/14] ixgbe: Update ptp_overflow check comment and jiffies

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@...el.com>

This patch fixes the comment on ptp_overflow_check to match up with what is
currently used as the parameters. Also change the jiffies check to use
time_is_after_jiffies macro.
