hrtimer: fix signed/unsigned bug in slack estimator
the slack estimator used unsigned math; however for very short delay it's possible that by the time you calculate the timeout, it's already passed and you get a negative time/slack... in an unsigned variable... which then gets turned into a 100 msec delay rather than zero. This patch fixes this by using a signed typee in the right places. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
