If the nanoseconds of the minuend timestamp are less than the nanoseconds of the subtrahend timestamp, we need to carry one second in the subtraction. I subtracted this second from the minuend, but didn't actually carry it in the subtraction of nanoseconds, and logged timestamps would jump back whenever we switched to the first branch of timespec_diff_us() from the second one.
