I think to make perfectly clear why this check is done, we simply
should precompute the denominator and do something like this:

int denominator = M * P
if (denominator == 0)
   return 0;
return sclk * N / denominator;

but with a better name for "denominator". I even imagine, that there
are some macros in the kernel for dealing with something like this
already, so that we could do instead:

return AWESOME_DIV_MACRO(sclk * N, M * P)
