Fix the kernel-doc markings for div64 functions to point to the header
file instead of the lib/ directory. This avoids having implementation
specific comments in generic documentation. Furthermore, given that
some kernel-doc comments are identical, drop them from lib/math64 and
only keep there comments that add implementation details.

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out
mathematical helpers.
At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new
header. Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to
avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.

People report that utime and stime from /proc/<pid>/stat become very
wrong when the numbers are big enough, especially if you watch these
counters incrementally.
Specifically, the current implementation of: stime*rtime/total,
results in a saw-tooth function on top of the desired line, where the
teeth grow in size the larger the values become. IOW, it has a
relative error.
The result is that, when watching incrementally as time progresses
(for large values), we'll see periods of pure stime or utime increase,
irrespective of the actual ratio we're striving for.
Replace scale_stime() with a math64.h helper: mul_u64_u64_div_u64()
that is far more accurate. This also allows architectures to override
the implementation -- for instance they can opt for the old algorithm
if this new one turns out to be too expensive for them.

For better maintenance and expansion move the mathematic helpers to the
separate folder.
No functional change intended.
Note, the int_sqrt() is not used as a part of lib, so, moved to regular
obj.
