I forgot everything about this code, but I think this patch must be correct,

	divisor >> n;

should have MSB == 1 or we loose the precision... Heh, I managed to find the
initial version of this code, see

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20101014121159.GA407@xxxxxxxxxx/

and note that it uses __fls(), not fls()! I didn't notice the final version
replaced __fls() with fls() which is __fls() + 1 if arg != 0.
