We currently oops with a divide error on starting a linear software
raid array consisting of at least two very small (< 500K) devices.

The bug is caused by the calculation of the hash table size which
tries to compute sector_div(sz, base) with "base" being zero due to
the small size of the component devices of the array.

Fix this by requiring the hash spacing to be at least one which
implies that also "base" is non-zero.

This bug has existed since about 2.6.14.
