Subject: [PATCH 4.14 074/166] timekeeping: Prevent 32bit truncation in scale64_check_overflow()

From: Wen Yang <wenyang@...ux.alibaba.com>

[ Upstream commit 4cbbc3a0eeed675449b1a4d080008927121f3da3 ]

While unlikely the divisor in scale64_check_overflow() could be >= 32bit in
scale64_check_overflow(). do_div() truncates the divisor to 32bit at least
on 32bit platforms.

Use div64_u64() instead to avoid the truncation to 32-bit.
