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.

Reject a zero call count before registering any ftrace ops.
