Subject: iio: core: Fix IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL_LOG2 for negative values

From: Nikolaus Schulz <[email protected]>

commit 7fd6592d1287046f61bfd3cda3c03cd35be490f7 upstream.

Fix formatting of negative values of type IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL_LOG2 by switching from do_div(), which can't handle negative numbers, to div_s64_rem(). Also use shift_right for shifting, which is safe with negative values.
