From: Marcelo Roberto Jimenez <mroberto@cpti.cetuc.puc-rio.br>
This patch prevents a user space program from calling the RTC_IRQP_SET ioctl with a negative value of frequency. Also, if this call is make with a zero value of frequency, there would be a division by zero in the kernel code.
[jstultz: Also initialize irq_freq to 1 to catch other divbyzero issues]
