Subject[057/152] tcp: avoid a possible divide by zero
2.6.36-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit ad9f4f50fe9288bbe65b7dfd76d8820afac6a24c ]

sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor might be set to zero while one cpu runs in
tcp_tso_should_defer(). Make sure we dont allow a divide by zero by
reading sysctl_tcp_tso_win_divisor exactly once.
