[PATCH] fb_pm2: Add a check to avoid potential divide by zero error

In `do_fb_ioctl()` of fbmem.c, if cmd is FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, var will be
copied from user, then go through `fb_set_var()` and
`info->fbops->fb_check_var()` which could may be `pm2fb_check_var()`.
Along the path, `var->pixclock` won't be modified. This function checks
whether reciprocal of `var->pixclock` is too high. If `var->pixclock` is
zero, there will be a divide by zero error. So, it is necessary to check
whether denominator is zero to avoid crash. As this bug is found by
Syzkaller, logs are listed below.
