ALSA: hda-intel: Avoid divide by zero crash



commit fed08d03 upstream.

On my AMD780V chipset, hda_intel.c can crash the kernel with a divide by
zero
for as-yet unknown reasons. A simple check for zero prevents it, though
the problem that causes it remains. Since the workaround is harmless and
won't affect anyone except victims of this bug, it should be safe;
moreover,
because this crash can be triggered by a user-mode application, there are
denial of service implications on the systems affected by the bug without
the patch.
