timecompare: fix half-Y2K38 problem in timecompare_update while calculating offset

Browse source 
ktime will overflow from 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, 19 January 2038,
ktime_add() in timecompare_update() will overflow a half earlier.  As a
result, wrong offset will be gotten, then cause some strange problems.
