tcp_nv: fix potential integer overflow in tcpnv_acked

Add suffix ULL to constant 80000 in order to avoid a potential integer overflow and give the compiler complete information about the proper arithmetic to use. Notice that this constant is used in a context that expects an expression of type u64.

The current cast to u64 effectively applies to the whole expression as an argument of type u64 to be passed to div64_u64, but it does not prevent it from being evaluated using 32-bit arithmetic instead of 64-bit arithmetic.

Also, once the expression is properly evaluated using 64-bit arithmentic, there is no need for the parentheses and the external cast to u64.
