padata: Fix possible divide-by-0 panic in padata_mt_helper()

We are hit with a not easily reproducible divide-by-0 panic in padata.c at
bootup time.

Looking at the padata_mt_helper() function, the only way a divide-by-0
panic can happen is when ps->chunk_size is 0.  The way that chunk_size is
initialized in padata_do_multithreaded(), chunk_size can be 0 when the
min_chunk in the passed-in padata_mt_job structure is 0.

Fix this divide-by-0 panic by making sure that chunk_size will be at least
1 no matter what the input parameters are.
