I just tested this, and Coccinelle didn't report nilfs_resize_fs() or
nilfs_max_segment_count() because both divisors are fields of a struct. I will
refactor this and submit a v2.

For nilfs_sb2_bad_offset(), where the dividend is u64 and the divisor is u32, we
would need a dedicated function like div64_u32() that doesn't calculate the
remainder, which doesn't seem to exist. What do you think?

Thanks,
