Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86/amd_node: fix integer divide by zero during init

On a Xen dom0 boot, this feature does not behave, and we end up
calculating:

    num_roots = 1
    num_nodes = 2
    roots_per_node = 0

This causes a divide-by-zero in the modulus inside the loop.

This change adds a couple of guards for invalid states where we might
get a divide-by-zero.
