[PATCH] libnvdimm/labels: Fix divide error in nd_label_data_init()

If a CXL memory device returns a broken zero LSA size in its memory
device information (Identify Memory Device (Opcode 4000h), CXL
spec. 3.1, 8.2.9.9.1.1), a divide error occurs in the libnvdimm
driver:

Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
RIP: 0010:nd_label_data_init+0x10e/0x800 [libnvdimm]

Code and flow:

1) CXL Command 4000h returns LSA size = 0,
2) config_size is assigned to zero LSA size (CXL pmem driver):

drivers/cxl/pmem.c: .config_size = mds->lsa_size,

3) max_xfer is set to zero (nvdimm driver):

drivers/nvdimm/label.c: max_xfer = min_t(size_t, ndd->nsarea.max_xfer, config_size);
drivers/nvdimm/label.c: if (read_size < max_xfer) {
drivers/nvdimm/label.c- /* trim waste */

4) DIV_ROUND_UP() causes division by zero:

drivers/nvdimm/label.c: max_xfer -= ((max_xfer - 1) - (config_size - 1) % max_xfer) /
drivers/nvdimm/label.c: DIV_ROUND_UP(config_size, max_xfer);
drivers/nvdimm/label.c- /* make certain we read indexes in exactly 1 read */
drivers/nvdimm/label.c: if (max_xfer < read_size)
drivers/nvdimm/label.c: max_xfer = read_size;
drivers/nvdimm/label.c- }

Fix this by checking the config size parameter by extending an
existing check.
