Subject: [RFC] tcp_bbr2: use correct 64-bit division

Hello Neal.

It was reported to me [1] by Konstantin (in Cc) that BBRv2 code suffers from integer division issue on 32 bit systems.

Konstantin suggested a solution available in the same linked merge request and copy-pasted by me below for your convenience:

```

Could you please evaluate this report and check whether it is correct, and also check whether the suggested patch is acceptable?

Thanks.
