ide-floppy: Fix unformatted media crash
A ZIP or similar with unformatted media will cause crashes when attempts are made to read/write it in some cases. This is because bs_factor is zero and we divide by it causing an oops. As the size of a non-accessible/non-existant media is really a bit of a zen question it doesn't matter if non-existant media is 512 bytes per sector or zero. Setting it to 1 causes us to generate 512 bytes/sector accesses and error properly. Based on a fix found lurking in an ancient bugzilla entry since about 2004 (ugghhh) Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
