The divisor s->par.bitrate will always be 0 until initialized by
ndo_open() and hdlcdrv_open().

In order to fix this divide zero error, check whether the netdevice
was opened by ndo_open() before performing divide.

I would still check for s->par.bitrate > 0 later changes may affect the setting of it
and it is much more obvious.

Also perhaps !netif_running(dev) should better return ENODEV.
