LOG: [LoopUnroll] Fix division by zero (#166258)

PR #159163's probability computation for epilogue loops does not handle
the possibility of an original loop probability of one. Runtime loop
unrolling does not make sense for such an infinite loop, and a division
by zero results. This patch works around that case.

Issue #165998.

Added: 
    llvm/test/Transforms/LoopUnroll/loop-probability-one.ll

Modified: 
    llvm/lib/Transforms/Utils/LoopUnrollRuntime.cpp

Removed:
