The erase size is parsed from the "block2mtd" module parameter and can
be set to zero. add_device() then evaluates
if ((long)size % erase_size)
with a zero divisor, which triggers a divide error:

Reject a zero erase size before performing the modulo operation so the
existing "erasesize must be a divisor of device size" error path
reports the invalid argument and frees the device.

The erase size is parsed from the "block2mtd" module parameter and can
be set to zero. add_device() then evaluates
if (size % erase_size)
with a zero divisor, which triggers a divide error:

Reject a zero erase size before performing the modulo operation so the
existing "erasesize must be a divisor of device size" error path
reports the invalid argument and frees the device.
While at it, drop the unnecessary (long) cast from the size operand of
the modulo.
