[PATCH] fix jiffy calculations in calibrate_delay_direct to handle overflow

[Jan Beulich]

From: Tim Deegan <Tim.Deegan@xxxxxxxxxx>

Fixes a hang when booting as dom0 under Xen, when jiffies can be
quite large by the time the kernel init gets this far.

[jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx: !time_after() -> time_before_eq() as suggested by Jiri Slaby]
