x86: fix hpet timer reinit for x86_64
There's a small problem with hpet_rtc_reinit function - it checks for the: hpet_readl(HPET_COUNTER) - hpet_t1_cmp > 0 to continue increasing both the HPET_T1_CMP (register) and the hpet_t1_cmp (variable). But since the HPET_COUNTER is always 32-bit, if the hpet_t1_cmp is 64-bit this condition will always be FALSE once the latter hits the 32-bit boundary, and we can have a situation, when we don't increase the HPET_T1_CMP register high enough. The result - timer stops ticking, since HPET_T1_CMP becomes less, than the COUNTER and never increased again. The solution is (based on Linus's suggestion) to not compare 64-bits (on 64-bit x86), but to do the comparison on 32-bit signed integers.
