0e4b01df8659 had a bunch of fixups to use the right division method.
However, it seems that after all that it still wasn't right -- div_u64
takes a 32-bit divisor.

The headroom is still large (2^32 pages), so on mundane systems you
won't hit this, but this should definitely be fixed.

Fixes: 0e4b01df8659 ("mm, memcg: throttle allocators when failing reclaim over memory.high")

div_u64 versus div64_u64 is really a handgrenade. We just fixed a
bunch of those in psi as well.
