This is to ensure the kernel doesn't change to a larger limit that
requires a 64-bit division on a 32-bit architecture.

With the old code, dividing by 10 was always fast as
nn->nfsd4_lease was the size of an integer register. Now it
is 64 bit wide, and I check that truncating it to 32 bit again
is safe.

Thanks for taking a look.
