[PATCH 3.16 138/157] floppy: fix div-by-zero in setup_format_params

3.16.72-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Denis Efremov <efremov@xxxxxxxxx>

commit f3554aeb991214cbfafd17d55e2bfddb50282e32 upstream.

This fixes a divide by zero error in the setup_format_params function of
the floppy driver.

Two consecutive ioctls can trigger the bug: The first one should set the
drive geometry with such .sect and .rate values for the F_SECT_PER_TRACK
to become zero. Next, the floppy format operation should be called.

A floppy disk is not required to be inserted. An unprivileged user
could trigger the bug if the device is accessible.

The patch checks F_SECT_PER_TRACK for a non-zero value in the
set_geometry function. The proper check should involve a reasonable
upper limit for the .sect and .rate fields, but it could change the
UAPI.

The patch also checks F_SECT_PER_TRACK in the setup_format_params, and
cancels the formatting operation in case of zero.

The bug was found by syzkaller.
