[PATCH] NVMe: Reduce divide operations

There are several expensive divide operations in the submit and 
completion paths that can be converted to less expensive arithmetic 
and logical operations.  Profiling shows significant drops in time 
spent in nvme_alloc_iod() under common workloads as a result of this 
change.

Patch is against Jens' for-3.19/drivers branch.
