You can't use a cast with do_div() or you get errors about non-lvalues.

And the context here is that we want the remainder, not the divided result,
so we'd need a temporary variable anyway if we were going to use a routine
from math64.h, presumably div_u64_rem(). But that's just an inline wrapper
around do_div() anyway, so it's no more efficient, and not obviously any
less "cluttered" in the source code here. The original code author (who
I'm adding belatedly to this email) may have a stronger opinion.

I'm not the author or maintainer of this code, I just want it to compile
without warning on 32-bit architectures :-)
