[PATCH] mtd: block2mtd: Fix divide error when erase_size is zero

The erase size is parsed from the "block2mtd" module parameter and can
be set to zero. add_device() then evaluates

	if ((long)size % erase_size)

with a zero divisor, which triggers a divide error:

	divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
	RIP: 0010:add_device drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c:296 [inline]
	RIP: 0010:block2mtd_setup2+0x592/0xda0 drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c:459
	Call Trace:
	 block2mtd_setup+0x27/0xe0 drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c:476
	 param_attr_store+0x214/0x310 kernel/params.c:589
	 module_attr_store+0x65/0x90 kernel/params.c:904
	 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x3a4/0x540 fs/kernfs/file.c:345
	 ...

Reject a zero erase size before performing the modulo operation so the
existing "erasesize must be a divisor of device size" error path
reports the invalid argument and frees the device.
