Subject: [ 106/147] lib/gcd.c: prevent possible div by 0
3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@....org>
commit e96875677fb2b7cb739c5d7769824dff7260d31d upstream.
Account for all properties when a and/or b are 0:
gcd(0, 0) = 0
gcd(a, 0) = a
gcd(0, b) = b
Fixes no known problems in current kernels.
