lib/math/rational.c: fix divide by zero

[ Upstream commit 65a0d3c ]

If the input is out of the range of the allowed values, either larger than
the largest value or closer to zero than the smallest non-zero allowed
value, then a division by zero would occur.

In the case of input too large, the division by zero will occur on the
first iteration.  The best result (largest allowed value) will be found by
always choosing the semi-convergent and excluding the denominator based
limit when finding it.

In the case of the input too small, the division by zero will occur on the
second iteration.  The numerator based semi-convergent should not be
calculated to avoid the division by zero.  But the semi-convergent vs
previous convergent test is still needed, which effectively chooses
between 0 (the previous convergent) vs the smallest allowed fraction (best
semi-convergent) as the result.
