On 32-bit systems, the throughput calculation in damos_set_effective_quota() is prone to unnecessary multiplication overflow. Using mult_frac() to fix it.
Andrew Paniakin also recently found and privately reported this issue, on 64 bit systems. This can also happen on 64-bit systems, once the charged size exceeds ~17 TiB. On systems running for long time in production, this issue can actually happen.
More specifically, when a DAMOS scheme having the time quota run for longtime, throughput calculation can overflow and set esz too small. As a result, speed of the scheme get unexpectedly slow.
