Subject: sch_cake: avoid possible divide by zero in cake_enqueue()

From: Wen Yang <wenyang at linux.alibaba.com>

[ Upstream commit 68aab823c223646fab311f8a6581994facee66a0 ]

The variables 'window_interval' is u64 and do_div()
truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test
non-zero and be truncated to zero for division.
The unit of window_interval is nanoseconds,
so its lower 32-bit is relatively easy to exceed.
Fix this issue by using div64_u64() instead.
