nilfs2: avoid undefined behavior in nilfs_cnt32_ge macro
According to the C standard 3.4.3p3, the result of signed integer overflow is undefined. The macro nilfs_cnt32_ge(), which compares two sequence numbers, uses signed integer subtraction that can overflow, and therefore the result of the calculation may differ from what is expected due to undefined behavior in different environments. Similar to an earlier change to the jiffies-related comparison macros in commit 5a581b36 ("jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflow"), avoid this potential issue by changing the definition of the macro to perform the subtraction as unsigned integers, then cast the result to a signed integer for comparison.
