[PATCH 3.12 067/146] mm/page-writeback.c: fix divide by zero in pos_ratio_polynom

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit d5c9fde3dae750889168807038243ff36431d276 upstream.

It is possible for "limit - setpoint + 1" to equal zero, after getting
truncated to a 32 bit variable, and resulting in a divide by zero error.

Using the fully 64 bit divide functions avoids this problem.  It also
will cause pos_ratio_polynom() to return the correct value when
(setpoint - limit) exceeds 2^32.

Also uninline pos_ratio_polynom, at Andrew's request.
