Check for zero was added to the module parameter "instances" to avoid the allocation of array of zero values. Although it is a valid call, we don't want to allocate ZERO_SIZE_PTR, so need to disallow this case. The type of variables which are compared to "instances" were also changed to unsigned int so that no compiler complaints occur.
