Subject[PATCH] lib/div64: off by one in shift
Date
fls counts bits starting from 1 to 32 (returns 0 for zero argument).
If we add 1 we shift right one bit more and loose precision from
divisor, what cause function incorect results with some numbers.

Corrected code was tested in user-space, see bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202391

Fixes: 658716d19f8f ("div64_u64(): improve precision on 32bit platforms")
