[POWERPC] Fix possible division by zero in scaled time accounting
If we get no user time and no system time allocated since the last account_system_vtime, the system to user time ratio estimate can end up dividing by zero. This was causing a problem noticed by Balbir Singh. Signed-off-by: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
