It is just to ensure that plus operation between dividend and _tmp is
evaluated in 64-bit context to prevent overflow. Just a case when user
calls this macro with 32-bit dividend param. As it is a macro (and not
inline function) type is not automatically enforced.
DIV_S64_ROUND_CLOSEST macro assigns its argument into temporary 64-bit
variable which then ensures usage of 64-bit arithmetic operations. Same
applies for DIV64_U64_ROUND_CLOSEST and DIV64_U64_ROUND_UP macros.
So this is reason why I added explicit cast to u64.
