Subject: [07/75] drm/i915: prevent division by zero when asking for chipset power

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eugeni Dodonov <eugeni.dodonov@...el.com>

commit 4ed0b577457eb6aeb7cdc7e7316576e63d15abb2 upstream.

This prevents an in-kernel division by zero which happens when we are
asking for i915_chipset_val too quickly, or within a race condition
between the power monitoring thread and userspace accesses via debugfs.

The issue can be reproduced easily via the following command:
while ``; do cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_emon_status; done

This is particularly dangerous because it can be triggered by
a non-privileged user by just reading the debugfs entry.

This issue was also found independently by Konstantin Belousov
<kostikbel@...il.com>, who proposed a similar patch.
