[PATCH v2] null_blk: use sector_div instead of do_div

Dividing a sector_t number should be done using sector_div rather than do_div
to optimize the 32-bit sector_t case, and with the latest do_div optimizations,
we now get a compile-time warning for this:
arch/arm/include/asm/div64.h:32:95: note: expected 'uint64_t * {aka long long unsigned int *}' but argument is of type 'sector_t * {aka long unsigned int *}'
drivers/block/null_blk.c:521:81: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast
This changes the newly added code to use sector_div. It is a simplified version
of the original patch, as Linus Torvalds pointed out that we should not be using
an expensive division function in the first place.
This version was suggested by Matias Bjorling.
