[ Upstream commit 59299aa1028fce051adbd25aaff7c387b865cd6d ]
Commit a158bdd3 ("rxrpc: Fix call timeouts") reworked the time calculation
for the next resend event. For this calculation, "oldest" will be before
"now", so ktime_sub(oldest, now) will yield a negative value. When passed
to nsecs_to_jiffies which expects an unsigned value, the end result will be
a very large value, and a resend event scheduled far into the future. This
could cause calls to stall if some packets were lost.
Fix by ordering the arguments to ktime_sub correctly.
