[PATCH 018/100] cfq: explicitly use 64bit divide operation for 64bit arguments

3.5.7.23 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Anatol Pomozov <anatol.pomozov at gmail.com>

commit f3cff25f05f2ac29b2ee355e611b0657482f6f1d upstream.

'samples' is 64bit operant, but do_div() second parameter is 32.
do_div silently truncates high 32 bits and calculated result
is invalid.

In case if low 32bit of 'samples' are zeros then do_div() produces
kernel crash.
