5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nikolay Kuratov kniv@yandex-team.ru
commit a1a7eb89ca0b89dc1c326eeee2596f263291aca3 upstream.
Check whether denominator expression x * (x - 1) * 1000 mod {2^32, 2^64} produce zero and skip stddev computation in that case.
For now don't care about rec->counter * rec->counter overflow because rec->time * rec->time overflow will likely happen earlier.
