The right fix is to simply stop using do_div here, both in kernel and
userspace.

ndquots = BBTOB(nbblks) / sizeof(xfs_dqblk_t);
Also the current xfs_calc_dquots_per_chunk doesn't use the mp argument
anyway, but all callers do. I think in the end we'd want to take that
in from the calers end end up with a version that includes the
check from the quotainfo. But for getting userspace up and running my
above minimal version should do it.
