virtual_tsc_khz is zero whenever TSC calibration fails and userspace
never programs a khz via KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ. In that state
kvm_set_tsc_khz() forces vcpu->arch.tsc_scaling_ratio back to
kvm_caps.default_tsc_scaling_ratio, but a nested guest can still end
up with a non-default tsc_scaling_ratio via the L2 TSC multiplier
path independently of virtual_tsc_khz, which sends
__wait_lapic_expire() into the tsc-scaling branch and
do_div(delay_ns, vcpu->arch.virtual_tsc_khz) with a zero divisor,
crashing the host with #DE.
Bail out before the division, mirroring the existing
"!this_tsc_khz" guard in start_sw_tscdeadline().
