#1205715 — [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 059/118] net: graceful exit from netif_alloc_netdev_queues()

3.16.7-ckt16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

commit d339727c2b1a10f25e6636670ab6e1841170e328 upstream.

User space can crash kernel with

ip link add ifb10 numtxqueues 100000 type ifb

We must replace a BUG_ON() by proper test and return -EINVAL for
crazy values.

Fixes: 60877a32bce00 ("net: allow large number of tx queues")
