[PATCH] drm/panic: Add a u64 divide by 10 for arm32

On 32bits ARM, u64 divided by a constant is not optimized to a
multiply by inverse by the compiler [1].
So do the multiply by inverse explicitly for this architecture.

Reported-by: Andrei Lalaev <andrey.lalaev at gmail.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/c0a2771c-f3f5-4d4c-aa82-d673b3c5cb46@gmail.com/
Fixes: 675008f196ca ("drm/panic: Use a decimal fifo to avoid u64 by u64 divide")
