[PATCH] fix oops in updating thread cputime and task time

From: Fawzi Mohamed
Date: Mon Mar 12 2012 - 18:10:57 EST


use div64_u64 instead of do_div to divide cputime_t with each other
because if cputime_t was u64 it would crash when overflowing u32.

Basically the same problem was found earlier in kernel vmlinux-2.6.32.12-0.7-default.gz.
