Samuel MoeliusandSteven Rostedt ac00ffdbbc samples/ftrace: Prevent division by zero when nr_function_calls is zero
The ftrace-ops sample exposes nr_function_calls as a module parameter
and uses it as the divisor when printing the measured time per call.
Loading the module with nr_function_calls=0 skips the benchmark loop and
then divides the elapsed time by zero, crashing the kernel during sample
module initialization.

Keep accepting the parameter value, but report -1LL as the per-call
duration when the call count is zero instead of dividing by it.
