hires_ms::usecs in winsup/cygwin/times.cc

I have found some odd code in hires_ms::usecs in times.cc around line 600.
There is condition like this: if ((now - initime_ms) < 0). The problem is that
both of the variables are unsigned (DWORD) and the result is unsigned and this
comparison can never be true because unsigned number can never be < 0.

The code should either involve some cast to signed type or should be completely
removed.
