[PATCH v15 3/3] pwm: sifive: fix rounding and idempotency issues in apply and get_state

This fix ensures consistent rounding and avoids mismatches
between applied and reported PWM values that could trigger false
idempotency failures in debug checks

This change ensures:
- real_period is now calculated using DIV_ROUND_UP_ULL() to avoid underestimation.
- duty_cycle is rounded up to match the fractional computation in apply()
- apply() truncates the result to compensate for get_state's rounding up logic

These fixes resolve issues like:
.apply is supposed to round down duty_cycle (requested: 360/504000, applied: 361/504124)
.apply is not idempotent (ena=1 pol=0 1739692/4032985) -> (ena=1 pol=0 1739630/4032985)
