[PATCH 30/37] libxfs: work around do_div() not handling 32 bit numerators

From: Dave Chinner <dchinner at redhat.com>
The libxfs dquot buffer code uses do_div() with a 32 bit numerator.
This gives incorrect results as do_div() passes the numerator by
reference as a pointer to a 64 bit value. Hence it does the division
using 32 bits of garbage gives the wrong result.
As per Christoph's suggestion, we can kill the usage of do_div()
here completely and just do the division directly, both in userspace
and kernel space.
