[patch] mtg: docg3: potential divide by zero in doc_write_oob()

If we set oobdelta to zero then we will either return -EINVAL or hit
a divide (modulus) by zero on the next line when we check
"(ooblen % oobdelta)".  It's better to just return -EINVAL here instead.

Static analysis.  I don't know if it's actually possible to hit this
condition.
