Subject: [PATCH v2 block/for-next] blk-iocost: fix divide-by-zero in
 transfer_surpluses()

Conceptually, root_iocg->hweight_donating must be less than WEIGHT_ONE but
all hweight calculations round up and thus it may end up >= WEIGHT_ONE
triggering divide-by-zero and other issues. Bound the value to avoid
surprises.

Jens, I was flipping between doing max_t(, 1) over the whole divider and
doing min_t(, WEIGHT_ONE - 1) for hweight_donating. I thought that I as
testing after the last change but it obviously wasn't and the previous patch
doesn't compile due to missing type argument. Can you please apply this
patch instead? I can send an incremental patch if that'd be better. My
apologies.

Thanks.
