serial: core: prevent division by zero by always returning non-zero baud rate

If a device has a minimum baud rate > 9600 bauds, and a new termios baud
rate of 0 (hang up) is requested, uart_get_baud_rate() will return 0.
Most drivers do not check this return value and call uart_update_timeout()
with this zero baud rate, which will trigger a "Division by zero in kernel"
fault:

  stty -F /dev/ttySC0 0

  Division by zero in kernel.
  ...

Fix by returning the larger of 9600 or min for the B0 case. This now
ensures that a non-zero baud rate is returned, and greatly simplifies the
code.
