s390/bpf,jit: fix 32 bit divisions, use unsigned divide instructions
The s390 bpf jit compiler emits the signed divide instructions "dr" and "d" for unsigned divisions. This can cause problems: the dividend will be zero extended to a 64 bit value and the divisor is the 32 bit signed value as specified A or X accumulator, even though A and X are supposed to be treated as unsigned values. The divide instrunctions will generate an exception if the result cannot be expressed with a 32 bit signed value. This is the case if e.g. the dividend is 0xffffffff and the divisor either 1 or also 0xffffffff (signed: -1). To avoid all these issues simply use unsigned divide instructions.
