[PATCH] sound: ua101: fix division by zero at probe

[PATCH] sound: ua101: fix division by zero at probe

[SeungJu Cheon]

Add a missing sanity check for bNrChannels in detect_usb_format()
to prevent a division by zero in playback_urb_complete() and
capture_urb_complete().

USB core does not validate class-specific descriptor fields such
as bNrChannels, so drivers must verify them before use. If a
device provides bNrChannels = 0, frame_bytes becomes zero and is
later used as a divisor in the URB completion handlers, leading
to a kernel crash.

Testing:
- dummy_hcd + raw_gadget emulating a UA-101 with bNrChannels=0.

This looks reasonable to me.
