[RESEND PATCH v2] iio: gts-helper: Fix division loop

[Matti Vaittinen <mazziesaccount@gmail.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2212 bytes --]

The loop based 64bit division may run for a long time when dividend is a
lot bigger than the divider. Replace the division loop by the
div64_u64() which implementation may be significantly faster.

This is a resend. Only change is the base which is now the v6.8-rc4 and
not the v6.8-rc1

This change was earlier applied and reverted as it confusingly lacked of
the removal of the overflow check (which is only needed when we do
looping "while (full > scale * (u64)tmp)". As this loop got removed, the
check got also obsolete and leaving it to the code caused some
confusion.

So, I marked this as a v2, where v1 is the reverted change discussed
here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-iio/ZZZ7pJBGkTdFFqiY@dc78bmyyyyyyyyyyyyydt-3.rev.dnainternet.fi/

Revision history:
v1 => v2:
 - Drop the obsolete overflow check
 - Rebased on top of the v6.8-rc4
