x86: Guard clock frequency against a divide by 0
We may be running in a Virtual Machine which may not fully support
hardware performance counters. If the MPERF counter somehow ends up
at zero, return an error and fail gracefully instead of panicking.
This patch is part of Google Cloud Engine (GCE) C4-LSSD turnup.
