Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: kernel panic when only one unsecured port available

Steps to reproduce:
Server:
  [root@...ver ~]# cat /etc/exports
  /export *(ro,insecure)
// there is insecure ... I am using ports like "1024 to 61000"
  [root@...ver ~] service nfs restart 

Client:
  1.[root@...ent ~]# echo 32768 32768 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
  32768   32768
// two same numbers, for ex "32769 32769" etc.
  2.[root@...ent ~]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range
  32768   32768
  3.[root@...ent ~]# mount server:/export /import
  
Actual results:
  Kernel always panics 

--------------------------------------------------------------------
[PATCH] ipv4: kernel panic when only one unsecured port available

  Patch prevents division by zero. Kernel panics if only one 
unsecured port available.
