Nicolas Pitre e795000e75 mul_u64_u64_div_u64: fix the division-by-zero behavior
The current implementation forces a compile-time 1/0 division, which
generates an undefined instruction (ud2 on x86) rather than a proper
runtime division-by-zero exception.

Change to trigger an actual div-by-0 exception at runtime, consistent with
other division operations.  Use a non-1 dividend to prevent the compiler
from optimizing the division into a comparison.
