Is there a reason for the leading "_" ?
AFAIK, "__name()" is meant to suggest a "worker" function for another
"name()" function, but that would not apply here.

How about removing the above code and adding here:
status->busy_time = status->busy_time ? : 1;

This check would then cover the possibility that total_time is 0.

But a reversal is needed here:
status->total_time = status->busy_time;

Then all of this code can be replaced by:
status->busy_time = (unsigned long)div64_u64((u64)status->busy_time << 10,
status->total_time);
status->total_time = 1 << 10;
This way you gain some resolution to busy_time and the divisions in the
callers would just become shifts by 10.
Hope it helps,
Ionela.
