Subject: [PATCH v3] tracing/histogram: Optimize division by constants

If the divisor is a constant use specific division functions to
avoid extra branches when the trigger is hit.

If the divisor constant but not a power of 2, the division can be
replaced with a multiplication and shift in the following case:

Let X = dividend and Y = divisor.

Choose Z = some power of 2. If Y <= Z, then:
    X / Y = (X * (Z / Y)) / Z

(Z / Y) is a constant (mult) which is calculated at parse time, so:
    X / Y = (X * mult) / Z

The division by Z can be replaced by a shift since Z is a power of 2:
    X / Y = (X * mult) >> shift

As long, as X < Z the results will not be off by more than 1.

Changes in v3:
  - Avoid indirect function calls for retrieving const divisor value.

Changes in v2:
  - Return -EDOM if divisor is a constant and zero.
