Maciej W. Rozycki d17af8b19d MIPS: Avoid DIVU in `__div64_32' is result would be zero
commit c1d337d45e upstream.

We already check the high part of the divident against zero to avoid the
costly DIVU instruction in that case, needed to reduce the high part of
the divident, so we may well check against the divisor instead and set
the high part of the quotient to zero right away.  We need to treat the
high part the divident in that case though as the remainder that would
be calculated by the DIVU instruction we avoided.

This has passed correctness verification with test_div64 and reduced the
module's average execution time down to 1.0445s and 0.2619s from 1.0668s
and 0.2629s respectively for an R3400 CPU @40MHz and a 5Kc CPU @160MHz.
