From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>
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. The kernel code
handles 32 bit numerators just fine, so this patch is a temporary
workaround in the dquot buffer code until we fix do_div() to handle
32 bit numerators correctly.
