Guangshuo Li 0209e21e3c fbdev: rivafb: fix divide error in nv3_arb()
A userspace program can trigger the RIVA NV3 arbitration code by calling
the FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO ioctl on /dev/fb*. When doing so, the driver
recomputes FIFO arbitration parameters in nv3_arb(), using state->mclk_khz
(derived from the PRAMDAC MCLK PLL) as a divisor without validating it
first.

In a normal setup, state->mclk_khz is provided by the real hardware and is
non-zero. However, an attacker can construct a malicious or misconfigured
device (e.g. a crafted/emulated PCI device) that exposes a bogus PLL
configuration, causing state->mclk_khz to become zero.  Once
nv3_get_param() calls nv3_arb(), the division by state->mclk_khz in the gns
calculation causes a divide error and crashes the kernel.

Fix this by checking whether state->mclk_khz is zero and bailing out before
doing the division.

The following log reveals it:
