4.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruv...@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.
Fixes: b34ef932d79a (intel_pstate: Knights Landing support)
