Stanislaw Gruszka c70d1929aa lib/div64.c: off by one in shift ...

commit cdc94a3749 upstream.

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:
