DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST returns a bad result for dividends with different sign:
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(-2, 2) = 0
Most of the time this does not matter. However, in the hardware monitoring
subsystem, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST is sometimes used on integers which can be
negative (such as temperatures).

v3: Instead of adding a new macro, fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.
This version works for negative dividend and divisor.
v2: v1 did not work if typeof(divisor) was an unsigned variable type
(which can obviously not be negative).
Rework to revert to DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST if the dividend is unsigned,
or if it is signed but non-negative.
