[llvm] r194950 - [block-freq] Add BlockFrequency::scale that returns a remainder from the division and make the private scale in BlockFrequency more performant.

[Michael Gottesman]

The reason why I wanted to mention N/D here is I wanted to be 100% clear where the remainder was coming from. Would this be clearer?
