Series use div64_ul() instead of div_u64() if the divisor is unsigned long | expand

The two variables 'numerator' and 'denominator',
though they are declared as long, they should actually be
unsigned long (according to the implementation of the
fprop_fraction_percpu() function)

And do_div() does a 64-by-32 division, while the divisor
'denominator' is unsigned long, thus 64-bit on 64-bit platforms.
Hence the proper function to call is div64_ul().
