clocksource/drivers/arm_global_timer: Guard against division by zero

The result of the division of new_rate by gt_target_rate can be zero (if
new_rate is smaller than gt_target_rate). Using that result as divisor
without checking can result in a division by zero error. Guard against
this by checking for a zero value earlier.
While here, also change the psv variable to an unsigned long to make
sure we don't overflow the datatype as all other types involved are also
unsiged long.
