Rik van Riel 32d4f4b782 mm,vmscan: fix divide by zero in get_scan_count 
Commit f56ce412a5 ("mm: memcontrol: fix occasional OOMs due to
proportional memory.low reclaim") introduced a divide by zero corner
case when oomd is being used in combination with cgroup memory.low
protection.

When oomd decides to kill a cgroup, it will force the cgroup memory to
be reclaimed after killing the tasks, by writing to the memory.max file
for that cgroup, forcing the remaining page cache and reclaimable slab
to be reclaimed down to zero.

Previously, on cgroups with some memory.low protection that would result
in the memory being reclaimed down to the memory.low limit, or likely
not at all, having the page cache reclaimed asynchronously later.

With f56ce412a5 the oomd write to memory.max tries to reclaim all the
way down to zero, which may race with another reclaimer, to the point of
ending up with the divide by zero below.

This patch implements the obvious fix.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
