[PATCH] ppc32: fix last_jiffy time comparison



This fixes a hang on ppc32.

The problem was that I was comparing a 32-bit quantity with a 64-bit
quantity, and consequently time wasn't advancing.  This makes us use a
64-bit quantity on all platforms, which ends up simplifying the code
since we can now get rid of the tb_last_stamp variable (which actually
fixes another bug that Ben H and I noticed while going carefully through
the code).

This works fine on my G4 tibook.  Let me know how it goes on your
machines.
