Yet, I have noticed that there is no checking of 'base' in these functions.
But I am not sure how to check is better.As we know that the result is 
undefined when divisor is zero. It maybe good to print error and dump stack.
 Let the process to know that the divisor is zero by sending SIGFPE.

Then it also needto add this checking in functions of
div64_s64(), div64_u64(), div64_u64_rem(), div_s64_rem and div_u64_rem () 
in include/linux/math64.h

+ if (unlikely(divisor == 0)) {
+         pr_err("%s divisor=0\n",__func__);
+         dump_stack();
+         force_sig(SIGFPE);
+ }
