[PATCHv2] selftests: timens: exec: use 'labs()' over 'abs()'

From: Anders Roxell
Date: Wed Nov 10 2021 - 13:04:24 EST


When building selftests/timens with clang, the compiler warn about the
function abs() see below:

exec.c:33:8: error: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type 'long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of value [-Werror,-Wabsolute-value]
if (abs(tst.tv_sec - now.tv_sec) > 5)
^
exec.c:33:8: note: use function 'labs' instead
if (abs(tst.tv_sec - now.tv_sec) > 5)
^~~
labs

Rework to store the time difference in a 'long long' and pass that to
llabs(), since the variable can be an 'int', 'long' or 'long long'
depending on the architecture and C library.
