The default value for refscale.nreaders is -1, which results in the code setting the value to three-quarters of the number of CPUs. On single-CPU systems, this results in three-quarters of the value one, which the C language's integer arithmetic rounds to zero. This in turn results in a divide-by-zero error. This commit therefore adds bounds checking to the refscale module parameters, so that if they are less than one, they are set to the value one.

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.
