Subject: [PATCH V3] sched/cpufreq: calculate util / cap in advance in map_util_freq()

From: "vincent.wang" <vincent.wang@...soc.com>

When a task that is in_iowait state is enqueued, cpufreq_update_util()
will be invoked with SCHED_CPUFREQ_IOWAIT flag. In this case,the value
of util and cap, which are parameters used in map_util_freq(), will be
cpu frequency, instead of cpu util and capactiy.

For some 32bit architectures, the size of unsigned long is 32. When
calculating freq, there may be an overflow error in this expression:

freq = (freq + (freq >> 2)) * util / cap;

This patch will fix this overflow risk by calulating util / cap in advance,
whether they be frequency or util.

Changes from v2:
* Fix for 32bit architectures only.

Changes from V1:
* Rebased onto v5.0-rc1;
* Addressed comments from Quentin Perret.
