[PATCH 4.1 75/86] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix divide by zero on Knights Landing (KNL)

From: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com>

commit 8e601a9f97a00bab031980de34f9a81891c1f82f upstream.

This is a workaround for KNL platform, where in some cases MPERF counter
will not have updated value before next read of MSR_IA32_MPERF. In this
case divide by zero will occur. This change ignores current sample for
busy calculation in this case.
