Because of binary representation, unsigned subtraction will work even if
t1.ref/del < t0.ref/del. So essentially, the code should look like
this,

static inline u64 get_delta(u64 t1, u64 t0)
{
if (t1 > t0 || t0 > ~(u32)0)
return t1 - t0;

return (u32)t1 - (u32)t0;
}

As a further optimization, I used (u32) since that also works,
as long as the momentary delta at any point is not greater than 2 ^ 32.
I don't foresee any reason for any platform to increment the counters at
an interval greater than 2 ^ 32.

No need to do like this as this is tested and found working across
counter overruns in our platform.
