The PTP frequency adjustment code needs to determine an appropriate
adjustment given an input scaled_ppm adjustment.

We calculate the adjustment to the register by multiplying the base
(nominal) increment value by the scaled_ppm and then dividing by the
scaled one million value.

For very large adjustments, this might overflow. To avoid this, both the
scaled_ppm and divisor values are downshifted.

We can avoid that on X86 architectures by using mul_u64_u64_div_u64. This
helper function will perform the multiplication and division with 128bit
intermediate values. We know that scaled_ppm is never larger than the
divisor so this operation will never result in an overflow.

This improves the accuracy of the calculations for large adjustment values
on X86. It is likely an improvement on other architectures as well because
the default implementation of mul_u64_u64_div_u64 is smarter than the
original approach taken in the ice code.

Additionally, this implementation is easier to read, using fewer local
variables and lines of code to implement.
