Remove function rtw_modular64 as all it does is call do_div.

This is wrong. Macro do_div(x, y) change first argument x, but
rtw_modular64(x, y) preserve it.

+			tsf = pmlmeext->TSFValue - do_div(pmlmeext->TSFValue, (pmlmeinfo->bcn_interval*1024)) - 1024; /* us */

rounddown(pmlmeext->TSFValue, pmlmeinfo->bcn_interval * 1024) - 1024
is a better replacement for

You're absolutely correct that the patch is buggy, but I'm not sure that
rounddown() is what we want.

rtw_modular64() took the MOD of x.  So it should be something like:

	tsf = pmlmeext->TSFValue - (pmlmeext->TSFValue % (pmlmeinfo->bcn_interval * 1024)) - 1024; /* us */

But what the heck is that even???  If pmlmeinfo->bcn_interval is zero
or one then the subtraction ends up giving us a negative.

1. pmlmeext->TSFValue can not be negative, because it is uint64_t;
2. pmlmeext->TSFValue is cyclic value:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_synchronization_function ;
3. (rounddown(a, b)) is equal to (a - a % b) by definition.
