dm-verity-fec: move computation of offset and rsb down a level

verity_fec_decode() computes (offset, rsb) from the target block index
and calls fec_decode_rsb() with these parameters.  Move this computation
into fec_decode_rsb(), and rename fec_decode_rsb() to fec_decode().

This ends up being simpler and enables further refactoring, specifically
making use of the quotient from the division more easily.  The function
renaming also eliminates a reference to the ambiguous term "rsb".

This change does mean the same div64_u64_rem() can now be executed twice
per block, since verity_fec_decode() calls fec_decode() up to twice per
block.  However, this cost is negligible compared to the rest of FEC.
