From: Florian Westphal <f...@strlen.de> commit 4cd273bb91b3001f623f516ec726c49754571b1a upstream.
(not in Linus's tree now, but in nf.git + linux-next.git already.) age is signed integer, so result can be negative when the timestamps have a large delta. In this case we want to discard the entry. Instead of using age >= 2 || age < 0, just make it unsigned.
