hpet_timer timer callback rearms itself based on difference between
current HPET tick counter and comparator value. Difference calculated by
the hpet_calculate_diff function is limited to non-negative values.

cur_tick is calculated via hpet_get_ticks that uses qemu_get_clock_ns(vm_clock).

With -icount enabled vm_clock doesn't advance during qemu_run_timers
loop thus once difference is zero, qemu_run_timers loops forever
handling hpet_timer.

Limit hpet_calculate_diff results to positive only values to avoid that
infinite loop.

This fixes the following qemu-system-x86_64 hang when it reaches
timer_irq_works() in the linux bootup:
