lib/group_cpus: fix NULL pointer dereference from group_cpus_evenly()

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2121266

commit df831e97739405ecbaddb85516bc7d4d1c933d6b upstream.

While testing null_blk with configfs, echo 0 > poll_queues will trigger
following panic:

Root cause is that numgrps is set to 0, and ZERO_SIZE_PTR is returned from
kcalloc(), and later ZERO_SIZE_PTR will be deferenced.

Fix the problem by checking numgrps first in group_cpus_evenly(), and
return NULL directly if numgrps is zero.
