commit 8e601a9f97a00bab031980de34f9a81891c1f82f upstream. Backport to 4.1-stable tree
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.
