[PATCH v2 1/2] linux/kernel.h: Introduce IDIV_ROUND_CLOSEST

[Guenter Roeck]

DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST returns a bad result for negative dividends:
	DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(-2, 2) = 0

Most of the time this does not matter. However, in the hardware monitoring
subsystem, it is sometimes used on integers which can be negative (such as
temperatures). Introduce new macro IDIV_ROUND_CLOSEST which also supports
negative dividends.

Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

v2: v1 did not work if typeof(divisor) was an unsigned variable type
    (which can obviously not be negative).
    Rework to revert to DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST if the dividend is unsigned,
    or if it is signed but non-negative.

Plan is to merge this patch through my hwmon tree unless there is an objection.
