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

------------------

From: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgrus...@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
