lib: add lib/gcd.c
This patch adds lib/gcd.c which contains a greatest common divider implementation taken from sound/core/pcm_timer.c Several usages of this new library function will be sent to subsystem maintainers. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: use swap() (pointed out by Joe)] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: just add gcd.o to obj-y, remove Kconfig changes] Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <florian@openwrt.org> Cc: Sergei Shtylyov <sshtylyov@ru.mvista.com> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Cc: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Cc: Julius Volz <juliusv@google.com> Cc: David S.
