kernel/fork.c: avoid division by zero
PAGE_SIZE is not guaranteed to be equal to or less than 8 times the
THREAD_SIZE.
E.g. architecture hexagon may have page size 1M and thread size 4096.
This would lead to a division by zero in the calculation of max_threads.
With 32-bit calculation there is no solution which delivers valid results
for all possible combinations of the parameters. The code is only called
once. Hence a 64-bit calculation can be used as solution.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: use clamp_t(), per Oleg]
