Niklas Söderlund 4f5901f5a6 linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST to support negative divisors
While working on a thermal driver I encounter a scenario where the
divisor could be negative, instead of adding local code to handle this I
though I first try to add support for this in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST.

Add support to DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST for negative divisors if both dividend
and divisor variable types are signed.  This should not alter current
behavior for users of the macro as previously negative divisors where
not supported.

Before:

DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(  59,  4) =  15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(  59, -4) = -14
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59,  4) = -15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, -4) =  14

After:

DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(  59,  4) =  15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(  59, -4) = -15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59,  4) = -15
DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST( -59, -4) =  15

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
