x86: clean up computation of HPET .mult variables

While reading through the HPET code I realized that the
computation of .mult variables could be done with less
lines of code, resulting in a 1.6% text size saving
for hpet.o

So I propose the following patch, which applies against
today's Linus -git tree.

The computation of clocksource_hpet.mult

       tmp = (u64)hpet_period << HPET_SHIFT;
       do_div(tmp, FSEC_PER_NSEC);
       clocksource_hpet.mult = (u32)tmp;

can be streamlined if we note that it is equal to

       clocksource_hpet.mult = div_sc(hpet_period, FSEC_PER_NSEC, HPET_SHIFT);

Furthermore, the computation of hpet_clockevent.mult

       uint64_t hpet_freq;

       hpet_freq = 1000000000000000ULL;
       do_div(hpet_freq, hpet_period);
       hpet_clockevent.mult = div_sc((unsigned long) hpet_freq,
                                     NSEC_PER_SEC, hpet_clockevent.shift);

can also be streamlined with the observation that hpet_period and hpet_freq are
inverse to each other (in proper units).

So instead of computing hpet_freq and using (schematically)
div_sc(hpet_freq, 10^9, shift) we use the trick of calling with the
arguments in reverse order, div_sc(10^6, hpet_period, shift).

The different power of ten is due to frequency being in Hertz (1/sec)
and the period being in units of femtosecond. Explicitly,

mult = (hpet_freq * 2^shift)/10^9    (before)
mult = (10^6 * 2^shift)/hpet_period  (after)

because hpet_freq = 10^15/hpet_period.

The comments in the code are also updated to reflect the changes.

As a result,

   3006     425      92    3523     dc3 arch/x86/kernel/hpet.o.old

a 1.6% reduction in text size.
