ns_diff is already clamped to a minimum of 0 to prevent the timebase going
backwards during migration due to misaligned clocks. Following on from this
migration_duration_tb is also subject to the same constraint; hence the
expression MIN(0, migration_duration_tb) always evaluates to 0 and so no
timebase adjustment ever takes place.

So, there are actually two problems here, which could be expressed a
bit more clearly in the commit message.

First, this clamping is redundant, because of the earlier clamp on
ns_diff.  Well.. probably.. I do wonder if we could get an overflow
anywhere giving us a negative number again.

More importantly, though, this is supposed to be a clamp below, which
needs a MAX.  MIN is Just Plain Wrong.
