When generating packets with pktgen with count=10, I get a divide-by-zero
oops in inject().

Line 273 in net/core/pktgen.c seems unsafe:
	__u64 pps = (__u32)(info->sofar * 1000) / ((__u32)(total) / 1000);

What if total < 1000 ?
Since noone else seemed to care, try this patch.  Against -test11,
yeah, I'm lazy again.
