Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Fix division by zero
 sysctl_numa_balancing_scan_size


File /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing_scan_size_mb allows writing of zero.

This bash command reproduces problem:

$ while :; do echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing_scan_size_mb; \
	   echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing_scan_size_mb; done
