Subject: sch_generic: missing u64 in psched_ratecfg_precompute()?

Hello!

It seems that commit

  commit 292f1c7ff6cc10516076ceeea45ed11833bb71c7

      sch: make htb_rate_cfg and functions around that generic

adds little regression.

This probably due to lost u64 cast of rate parameter in 
psched_ratecfg_precompute() (net/sched/sch_generic.c).

Simple patch attached. Tested and found working for me at least
on amd64.
