This gives clk_round_rate/clk_set_rate on dividers a consistent
behaviour. Also the testcases I posted seem to work fine.

The only thing that might not be nice is that when a divider can only
output fractional rates then the next higher integer value has to be used
for clk_round_rate/clk_set_rate. A consumer should probably make no
assumptions whether 333.333Hz is rounded up or down and use 334Hz to be
sure anyway.
