[patch 1/6] __div64_31 broken for CONFIG_MARCH_G5

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx>

The implementation of __div64_31 for G5 machines is broken. The comments
in __div64_31 are correct, only the code does not do what the comments
say. The part "If the remainder has overflown subtract base and increase
the quotient" is only partially realized, the base is subtracted correctly
but the quotient is only increased if the dividend had the last bit set.
Using the correct instruction fixes the problem.
