[DCCP] ccid3: Simplify calculation for reverse lookup of p
This simplifies the calculation of a value p for a given fval when the
first loss interval is computed (RFC 3448, 6.3.1). It makes use of the
two new functions scaled_div/scaled_div32 to provide overflow protection.
Additionally, protection against divide-by-zero is extended - in this
case the function will return the maximally possible value of p=100%.
Background:
The maximum fval, f(100%), is approximately 244, i.e. the scaled value of fval
should never exceed 244E6, which fits easily into u32. The problem is the scaling
by 10^6, since additionally R(TT) is in microseconds.
This is resolved by breaking the division into two stages: the first stage
computes fval=(s*10^6)/R, stores that into u64; the second stage computes
fval = (fval*10^6)/X_recv and complains if overflow is reached for u32.
This case is safe since the TFRC reverse-lookup routine then returns p=100%.
