Subject: mm: divide by zero in percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler()

Hi all,

I've stumbled on the following after some fuzzing using trinity inside a KVM tools guest, using a recent linux-next.

It appears as though it caused a divide by zero in mm/page_alloc.c:5230:

	high = zone->present_pages / percpu_pagelist_fraction;

Here's the relevant disassembly:

    2360:       48 8b 83 30 20 00 00    mov    0x2030(%rbx),%rax
    2367:       31 d2                   xor    %edx,%edx
    2369:       89 c9                   mov    %ecx,%ecx
    236b:       4c 63 05 00 00 00 00    movslq 0x0(%rip),%r8        # 2372 <percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler+0x72>
                        236e: R_X86_64_PC32     percpu_pagelist_fraction+0xfffffffffffffffc
    2372:       49 f7 f0                div    %r8

And finally, the dump:
