[RFC PATCH] math.h: Account for 64-bit division on i386

[cem@kernel.org]

From: Carlos Maiolino <cem@kernel.org>

Building linux on i386 might fail if a 64bit type is passed to
mult_fract(). To prevent the failure, use do_div() for the division
calculation instead of hardcoding a / b.

I'm sending it as a RFC because I didn't to extensive testing on this
patch, also I'm not sure if mult_frac() was intended to work on 32-bit
only types. If that's the case, perhaps, a new mult_frac64() might be a
better idea?!
