Subject: dm verity fec: fix block calculation

From: Sami Tolvanen <[email protected]>

commit 602d1657c603eedd7379a8bcde1ad3a2972ecc5f upstream.

do_div was replaced with div64_u64 at some point, causing a bug with block calculation due to incompatible semantics of the two functions.

Fixes a739ff3f543a ("dm verity: add support for forward error correction")
