The "val" variable is controlled by the user and comes from
hwmon_attr_store().  The FAN_RPM_TO_PERIOD() macro divides by "val"
so a zero will crash the system.  Check for that and return -EINVAL.

Technically that restores old (pre-fc958a61ff6d) behavior, but it is still bad:
Userspace can provide a value of -1 (or any other negative number), and it will
translate to 5400000 RPM. So it should either be

	if (val <= 0)
		return -EINVAL;

or
	if (val <= 0)
		val = 1;

Thanks,
Guenter
