net: introduce reciprocal_scale helper and convert users

As David Laight suggests, we shouldn't necessarily call this
reciprocal_divide() when users didn't requested a reciprocal_value();
lets keep the basic idea and call it reciprocal_scale(). More
background information on this topic can be found in [1].

Joint work with Hannes Frederic Sowa.

* Perform a "reciprocal multiplication" in order to "scale" a value into
* range [0, ep_ro), where the upper interval endpoint is right-open.
* This is useful, e.g. for accessing a index of an array containing
* ep_ro elements, for example. Think of it as sort of modulus, only that
* the result isn't that of modulo. ;) Note that if initial input is a
* small value, then result will return 0.

* Return: a result based on val in interval [0, ep_ro).
