3.16.7-ckt19 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Prarit Bhargava <prarit at redhat.com>

commit 7180dddf7c32c49975c7e7babf2b60ed450cb760 upstream.

The kernel may delay interrupts for a long time which can result in timers
being delayed. If this occurs the intel_pstate driver will crash with a
divide by zero error:

The kernel values for cpudata for CPU 113 were:

struct cpudata {
  cpu = 113,
  timer = {
    entry = {
      next = 0x0,
      prev = 0xdead000000200200
    },
    expires = 8357799745,
    base = 0xffff883fe84ec001,
    function = 0xffffffff814a9100 <intel_pstate_timer_func>,
    data = 18446612406765768960,
<snip>
    i_gain = 0,
    d_gain = 0,
    deadband = 0,
    last_err = 22489
  },
  last_sample_time = {
    tv64 = 4063132438017305
  },
  prev_aperf = 287326796397463,
  prev_mperf = 251427432090198,
  sample = {
    core_pct_busy = 23081,
    aperf = 2937407,
    mperf = 3257884,
    freq = 2524484,
    time = {
      tv64 = 4063149215234118
    }
  }
}

which results in the time between samples = last_sample_time - sample.time
= 4063149215234118 - 4063132438017305 = 16777216813 which is 16.777 seconds.

The duration between reads of the APERF and MPERF registers overflowed a s32
sized integer in intel_pstate_get_scaled_busy()'s call to div_fp().  The result
is that int_tofp(duration_us) == 0, and the kernel attempts to divide by 0.

While the kernel shouldn't be delaying for a long time, it can and does
happen and the intel_pstate driver should not panic in this situation.  This
patch changes the div_fp() function to use div64_s64() to allow for "long"
division.  This will avoid the overflow condition on long delays.

[v2]: use div64_s64() in div_fp()
