jiffies_to_msecs() does not work on 2s complement. It just takes
'unsigned long', and just considers large positive numbers to be
exactly that - not a negative jiffy.
We have a separate jiffies_delta_to_msecs(), but that clamps to zero.
So again, it doesn't actually work for negative jiffies.
Side note: jiffies_to_msecs() seems to return an "unsigned int". That
seems a bit odd.
