tcp: fix tso_should_defer in 64bit

Since jiffies is unsigned long, the types get expanded into
that and after long enough time the difference will therefore
always be > 1 (and that probably happens near boot as well as
iirc the first jiffies wrap is scheduler close after boot to
find out problems related to that early).

This was originally noted by Bill Fink in Dec'07 but nobody
never ended fixing it.
