Subject: [PATCH] jbd2: fix wrong use of do_div

the following warning:

fs/jbd2/journal.c: In function ‘jbd2_seq_info_show’:
fs/jbd2/journal.c:850: warning: format ‘%lu’ expects type ‘long
unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint32_t’

is caused by wrong usage of do_div that modifies the dividend in-place
and returns the quotient. So not only would an incorrect value be
displayed, but s->journal->j_average_commit_time would also be changed
to a wrong value! This patch fixes it.
