When userspace use RTM_GETROUTE to dump route table, with an 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 use the same trick as time_after macro to
avoid the 'unsigned long' type promotion and deal with jiffies
wrapping.
Also we should do some fix in rtnl_put_cacheinfo() which use
jiffies_to_clock_t(which take an unsigned long as parameter) to
convert jiffies to clock_t to handle the negative expires.
