[libc-commits] [libc] [libc] Fix incorrect unsigned comparison (PR #135595)

https://github.com/yingcong-wu created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/135595

There is a problem with such unsigned comparison pattern:
```
if(unsigned_a - unsigned_b > 0) { /* only NOT go here when unsigned_a==unsigned_b */ }
```
When `unsigned_a` < `unsigned_b`, the result will still be `>0` due to underflow.
This patch fixes two of the occurrences I found.
