kcsan: Avoid division by zero in kcsan_prandom_u32_max()
KCSAN's skip_watch, udelay_task and udelay_interrupt parameters can be
changed at runtime through /sys/module/kcsan/parameters/, where 0 means
watching every access or not delaying at all. With the default
CONFIG_KCSAN_SKIP_WATCH_RANDOMIZE=y and CONFIG_KCSAN_DELAY_RANDOMIZE=y,
writing 0 to any of them makes the next watchpoint setup divide by zero:
# echo 0 > /sys/module/kcsan/parameters/udelay_task

BUG: TASK stack guard page was hit at ffffd3ab001fbfe8 (...)
reset_kcsan_skip() and delay_access() pass these values unchecked to
kcsan_prandom_u32_max(), which returns "state % ep_ro". delay_access()
halves the delay for compound and assert accesses, so
udelay_interrupt=1 is enough there.
The oops path runs instrumented code, which faults again until the stack
overflows. With skip_watch=0 the guest hangs without printing anything.
The division came in with commit 71a076f4a61a ("kcsan: Rewrite
kcsan_prandom_u32_max() without prandom_u32_state()"). Before it, the
helper scaled the random value with a multiply-shift, which yields 0 for
ep_ro == 0. Go back to that via reciprocal_scale().
Tested in an x86-64 KCSAN guest with virtme-ng: after this patch,
writing 0 to each parameter, or 1 to udelay_interrupt, no longer
oopses. skip_watch=0 now watches every access, which is very slow with
the default delays but completes when they are set to 0.
