USB: serial: ftdi_sio: use rounding when calculating baud rate divisors

Improve baud-rate generation by using rounding-to-closest instead of
truncation in divisor calculation.

Results have been verified by logic analyzer on an FT232RT (232BM) chip.
The following table shows the wanted baud rate, the baud rate obtained
with the old method (truncation), with the new method (rounding) and the
baud rate generated by the windows 10 driver. The numbers in parentheses
is the error.

+- Wanted --+------ Old -------+------ New -------+------ Win -------+
|    9600   |    9600 (0.00%)  |    9604 (0.05%)  |    9605 (0.05%)  |
|   19200   |   19200 (0.00%)  |   19199 (0.01%)  |   19198 (0.01%)  |
|   38400   |   38395 (0.01%)  |   38431 (0.08%)  |   38394 (0.02%)  |
|   57600   |   57725 (0.22%)  |   57540 (0.10%)  |   57673 (0.13%)  |
|  115200   |  115307 (0.09%)  |  115330 (0.11%)  |  115320 (0.10%)  |
|  921600   |  919963 (0.18%)  |  920386 (0.13%)  |  920810 (0.09%)  |
|  961200   |  996512 (3.67%)  |  956480 (0.49%)  |  956937 (0.44%)  |
+-----------+------------------+------------------+------------------+

The error due to noise in the measurements is in the order of a few
tenths of a %. As can be seen, the baud rate is significantly improved
for some rates (e.g. 961200), and corresponds to the output given by the
windows driver.

The theoretical baud rate has been calculated for all baud rates from 1
to 3M, and as expected, the error is centered around 0, with a triangle
shape instead of a sawtooth, so the maximum error is decreased to half.
