Subject: [PATCH] hrtimer: prevent negative expiry value after clock_was_set()

Impact: prevent false positive WARN_ON() in clockevents_program_event()

clock_was_set() changes the base->offset of CLOCK_REALTIME and
enforces the reprogramming of the clockevent device to expire timers
which are based on CLOCK_REALTIME. If the clock change is large enough
then the subtraction of the timer expiry value and base->offset can
become negative which triggers the warning in
clockevents_program_event().

Check the subtraction result and set a negative value to 0.
