Patch 1/2 prevents a division by zero in case the product "delta_MPERF * arch_max_freq_ratio" overflows u64, as suggested by Linus at [1]. This patch supersedes the version at [2], as it also disables frequency invariance when that overflow happens.
Patch 2/2 implements the recommendation by Ricardo Neri to check for an all zero MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT and disable freq invariance in that case too.
