        net-next already contains fix for this warning
and changes val to u64.

        On CONFIG_X86_32 both versions execute single divl
for our case but div_s64 is not inlined. I'm not expert in
this area but if you think div_u64 is more appropriate then
post another patch. Note that now val is u64 and
min_est is still s32 (can be u32).
