Variable var->pixclock can be set by user. In case it equals to
zero, divide by zero would occur in acornfb_validate_timing.
Similar crashes have happened in other fbdev drivers. We fix this
by checking whether 'pixclock' is zero.

Similar commit: commit 16844e58704 ("video: fbdev: tridentfb:
Error out if 'pixclock' equals zero")
