I have wrong judge in third environment. If now large than expires + 
MAX_UNLONG, time_before(now, expires) will be false.
   expires    next_credit    next_credit+MAX_UNLONG/2    expires + 
MAX_UNLONG    now    next_credit+MAX_UNLONG
   --------------------------------------------------------- time 
increadse this direction  ---------------------------------->

   In the above environment, time_before(now, expires) will return 
false. But the jiffies elapsed more time and next_credit will be 
reachable in soon(time_after_eq(now, next_credit) will be true).
