Variable var->pixclock can be set by user. In case it equals to
zero, divide by zero would occur in get_var_refresh.
Similar crashes have happened in other fbdev drivers. We fix this
by checking whether 'pixclock' is zero.
Similar commit: commit 16844e58704 ("video: fbdev: tridentfb:
Error out if 'pixclock' equals zero")
