lib/string_helpers.c: fix infinite loop in string_get_size()

Browse Source 
Some string_get_size() calls (e.g.:
 string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...)
 string_get_size(15, 64, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...)
) result in an infinite loop. The problem is that if size is equal to
divisor[units]/blk_size and is smaller than divisor[units] we'll end
up with size == 0 when we start doing sf_cap calculations:

For string_get_size(1, 512, STRING_UNITS_10, ..., ...) case:
   ...
   remainder = do_div(size, divisor[units]); -> size is 0, remainder is 1
   remainder *= blk_size; -> remainder is 512
   ...
   size *= blk_size; -> size is still 0
   size += remainder / divisor[units]; -> size is still 0

The caller causing the issue is sd_read_capacity(), the problem was
noticed on Hyper-V, such weird size was reported by host when scanning
collides with device removal.  This is probably a separate issue worth
fixing, this patch is intended to prevent the library routine from
infinite looping.
