timers: Fix slack calculation really 

commit f00e047ef (timers: Fix slack calculation for expired timers)
fixed the issue of slack on expired timers only partially. Linus
noticed 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.
