Subject: [PATCH v2] thermal/powerclamp: Prevent division by zero when counting interval

I have got a zero division error when disabling the forced
idle injection from the intel powerclamp. I did

  echo 0 >/sys/class/thermal/cooling_device48/cur_state

and got

RIP points to the following lines:

	compensation = get_compensation(target_ratio);
	interval = duration_jiffies*100/(target_ratio+compensation);

A solution would be to switch the following two commands in
powerclamp_set_cur_state():

	set_target_ratio = 0;
	end_power_clamp();

But I think that the zero division might happen also when target_ratio
is non-zero because the compensation might be negative. Therefore
we also check the sum of target_ratio and compensation explicitly.

Also the compensated_ratio variable is always set. Therefore there
is no need to initialize it.

Changes against v1:

	+ Also set_target_ratio to 0 after the threads are stopped.
