3.11.10.15 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mateusz Guzik <mguzik at redhat.com>
commit b0ab99e7736af88b8ac1b7ae50ea287fffa2badc upstream.
proc_sched_show_task() does:
if (nr_switches)
do_div(avg_atom, nr_switches);
nr_switches is unsigned long and do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which
means it can test non-zero on e.g. x86-64 and be truncated to zero for
division.
Fix the problem by using div64_ul() instead.
As a side effect calculations of avg_atom for big nr_switches are now correct.
