ipv4: avoid divide by zero in fib_rebalance

fib_rebalance() computes the total eligible nexthop weight in one pass
and programs upper bounds in a second pass. A concurrent change to
ignore_routes_with_linkdown can make the first pass return zero while
the second pass sees an eligible nexthop, resulting in division by zero.

If the first pass reports a zero total, set each nexthop upper bound to
-1 and skip the division. This matches the IPv6 fix in commit
d2c26c2911 ("ipv6: avoid divide by zero in rt6_multipath_rebalance")
and preserves the lock-free rebalance path.
