video: fbdev: cirrusfb: check pixclock to avoid divide by zero
Do a sanity check on pixclock value to avoid divide by zero.
If the pixclock value is zero, the cirrusfb driver will round up
pixclock to get the derived frequency as close to maxclock as
possible.
Syzkaller reported a divide error in cirrusfb_check_pixclock.
