util: Fix order of operands and carry of one second in timespec_diff_us()

Browse Source 
If the nanoseconds of the minuend timestamp are less than the
nanoseconds of the subtrahend timestamp, we need to carry one second
in the subtraction.

I subtracted this second from the minuend, but didn't actually carry
it in the subtraction of nanoseconds, and logged timestamps would jump
back whenever we switched to the first branch of timespec_diff_us()
from the second one.

Most likely, the reason why I didn't carry the second is that I
instinctively thought that swapping the operands would have the same
effect. But it doesn't, in general: that only happens with arithmetic
in modulo powers of 2. Undo the swap as well.
