kernel: rounddown helper function

The roundup() helper function will round a given value up to a multiple of
another given value.  aka  roundup(11, 7) would give 14 = 7 * 2.  This new
function does the opposite.  It will round a given number down to the
nearest multiple of the second number: rounddown(11, 7) would give 7.

I need this in some future SELinux code and can carry the macro myself, but
figured I would put it in the core kernel so others might find and use it
if need be.
