3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Stanislaw Gruszka sgruszka@redhat.com
commit cdc94a37493135e355dfc0b0e086d84e3eadb50d upstream.
fls counts bits starting from 1 to 32 (returns 0 for zero argument). If we add 1 we shift right one bit more and loose precision from divisor, what cause function incorect results with some numbers.
Corrected code was tested in user-space, see bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202391
