I'm OK with that approach. The original lcm() behavior made sense when
we were the only user.

+unsigned long lcm_not_zero(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
+{
+	unsigned long l = lcm(a, b);
+
+	if (l)
+		return l;
+
+	return (b ? : a);
+}

I always blink when I read b ?: a instead of b ? b : a. But no
biggie. That's just my personal preference.
