[S390] __div64_32 for 31 bit.
The clocksource infrastructure introduced with commit
ad596171ed635c51a9eef829187af100cbf8dcf7 broke 31 bit s390.
The reason is that the do_div() primitive for 31 bit always
had a restriction: it could only divide an unsigned 64 bit
integer by an unsigned 31 bit integer. The clocksource code
now uses do_div() with a base value that has the most
significant bit set. The result is that clock->cycle_interval
has a funny value which causes the linux time to jump around
like mad.
The solution is "obvious": implement a proper __div64_32
function for 31 bit s390.
