[PATCH] ubi: Refuse attaching if mtd's erasesize is 0

[PATCH] ubi: Refuse attaching if mtd's erasesize is 0

[Zhihao Cheng]

There exists mtd devices with zero erasesize, which will trigger a
divide-by-zero exception while attaching ubi device.
Fix it by refusing attaching if mtd's erasesize is 0.

Fixes: 801c135ce73d ("UBI: Unsorted Block Images")

IMHO, this should be backported to keep the vulnerable area as
small as possible, so:
