var->pixclock can be assigned to zero by user. Without
proper check, divide by zero would occur when invoking
macro PICOS2KHZ in au1200fb_fb_check_var.

Error out if var->pixclock is zero.

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for the kind advice.

In fact, I notice there was a discussion regarding whether to put the
check in each individual driver or solve this problem as a whole as
you suggested. The conclusion is that it is better to keep the check per
driver rather than in the caller.
