net: neighbour: prohibit negative value for unres_qlen_bytes parameter
unres_qlen_bytes and unres_qlen are int type.
But multiple relation(unres_qlen_bytes = unres_qlen * SKB_TRUESIZE(ETH_FRAME_LEN))
will cause type overflow when seting unres_qlen. e.g.
$ echo 1027506 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen
1182657265
$ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/eth1/unres_qlen_bytes
-2147479756
The gutted value is not that we setting。
But user/administrator don't know this is caused by int type overflow.
what's more, it is meaningless and even dangerous that unres_qlen_bytes is set
with negative number. Because, for unresolved neighbour address, kernel will cache packets
without limit in __neigh_event_send()(e.g. (u32)-1 = 2GB).
