Reduce the risk of integer overflow by doing the scale calculation on
a 64-bit integer. Since the rescaling is only performed on *val, reuse
the IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL_LOG2 case.

...

-               tmp = 1 << *val2;

At some point this should be BIT()
Rule of thumb (in accordance with C standard), always use unsigned
value as left operand of the _left_ shift.

+               if (scale_type == IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL)
+                       tmp = *val2;
+               else
+                       tmp = 1 << *val2;
