gh-91421: Use constant value check during runtime (GH-91422)
The left-hand side expression of the if-check can be converted to a constant by the compiler, but the addition on the right-hand side is performed during runtime. Move the addition from the right-hand side to the left-hand side by turning it into a subtraction there. Since the values are known to be large enough to not turn negative, this is a safe operation. Prevents a very unlikely integer overflow on 32 bit systems. Fixes GH-91421.
