Subject: [PATCH] sched: fix divide by zero at {thread_group,task}_times

On architectures where cputime_t is 64 bit type, is possible to trigger
divide by zero on do_div(temp, (__force u32) total) line, if total is a
non zero number but has lower 32 bit's zeroed. Removing casting is not
a good solution since some do_div() implementations do cast to u32
internally.

This problem can be triggered in practice on very long lived processes:
