[PATCH 2/4] div64: Correct inline documentation for `do_div'

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

Correct inline documentation for `do_div', which is a function-like 
macro the `n' parameter of which has the semantics of a C++ reference: 
it is both read and written in the context of the caller without an 
explicit dereference such as with a pointer.

In the C programming language it has no equivalent for proper functions, 
in terms of which the documentation expresses the semantics of `do_div', 
but substituting a pointer in documentation is misleading, and using the 
C++ notation should at least raise the reader's attention and encourage 
to seek explanation even if the C++ semantics is not readily understood.

While at it observe that "semantics" is an uncountable noun, so refer to 
it with a singular rather than plural verb.

NB there's a `checkpatch.pl' warning for tabs preceded by spaces, but that 
is just the style of the piece of code quoted and I can see no gain from 
changing it or worse yet making inconsistent.
