We check that usage is bigger than protected, which should imply parent_usage being bigger than siblings_protected. However, we don't read (or even update) these values atomically, and they can be out of sync as the memory state changes under us. A bit of fluctuation around the target protection isn't a big deal, but we need to handle the div0 case. Check the parent state explicitly to make sure we have a reasonable positive value for the divisor.
