[PATCH v14 04/11] iio: afe: rescale: fix accuracy for small fractional scales

[Liam Beguin]

The approximation caused by integer divisions can be costly on smaller
scale values since the decimal part is significant compared to the
integer part. Switch to an IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO scale type in such
cases to maintain accuracy.
