Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 088/185] dm stats: fix divide by zero if 'number_of_areas' arg is zero

3.16.7-ckt15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@...hat.com>

commit dd4c1b7d0c95be1c9245118a3accc41a16f1db67 upstream.

If the number_of_areas argument was zero the kernel would crash on
div-by-zero.  Add better input validation.
