Vincent Wang reported that get_next_freq() has a mult overflow bug on
32-bit platforms in the IOWAIT boost case, since in that case {util,max}
are in freq units instead of capacity units.
Solve this by moving the IOWAIT boost to capacity units. And since this
means @max is constant; simplify the code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
