commit 6f210c18c1c0f016772c8cd51ae12a02bfb9e7ef upstream.

Since commit 21947ba654a6 ("serial: 8250_pci: replace switch-case by
formula"), the 8250 driver crashes in the byt_set_termios() function
with a divide error. This is caused by the fact that a baud rate of 0 (B0)
is not handled properly. Fix it by falling back to B9600 in this case.
