[PATCH] s390: next_timer_interrupt overflow in stop_hz_timer
The 32 bit unsigned substraction (next - jiffies) in stop_hz_timer can overflow if jiffies gets advanced between next_timer_interrupt and the read under the xtime lock. The cast to a u64 then results in a large value which causes the cpu to wait too long. Fix this by casting next and jiffies independently to u64 before subtracting them.
