ed that jiffies is volatile so it is reloaded twice, which
generates bad code.

But its worse. This can defeat the time_after() check if jiffies are
incremented between time_after() and the slack calculation.

Fix it by reading jiffies into a local variable, which prevents the
compiler from loading it twice. While at it make the > -1 check into
>= 0 which is easier to read.
