From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit dd4c1b7d0c95be1c9245118a3accc41a16f1db67 upstream.

If the number_of_areas argument was zero the kernel would crash on
div-by-zero.  Add better input validation.
