Gerrit Renker 76d127779e [DCCP]: Fix BUG in retransmission delay calculation
This bug resulted in ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet returning negative
delay values, which in turn triggered silently dequeueing packets in
dccp_write_xmit. As a result, only a few out of the submitted packets made
it at all onto the network.  Occasionally, when dccp_wait_for_ccid was
involved, this also triggered a bug warning since ccid3_hc_tx_send_packet
returned a negative value (which in reality was a negative delay value).

The cause for this bug lies in the comparison

 if (delay >= hctx->ccid3hctx_delta)
	return delay / 1000L;

The type of `delay' is `long', that of ccid3hctx_delta is `u32'. When comparing
negative long values against u32 values, the test returned `true' whenever delay
was smaller than 0 (meaning the packet was overdue to send).

The fix is by casting, subtracting, and then testing the difference with
regard to 0.

This has been tested and shown to work.
