kernel: rounddown helper function
The roundup() helper function will round a given value up to a multiple of another given value. aka roundup(11, 7) would give 14 = 7 * 2. This new function does the opposite. It will round a given number down to the nearest multiple of the second number: rounddown(11, 7) would give 7. I need this in some future SELinux code and can carry the macro myself, but figured I would put it in the core kernel so others might find and use it if need be.
