Subject: [PATCH] net_sched: sch_sfq: reject invalid perturb period

Gerrard Tai reported that SFQ perturb_period has no range check yet, and this can be used to trigger a race condition fixed in a separate patch.

We want to make sure ctl->perturb_period * HZ will not overflow and is positive.

Tested:

tc qd add dev lo root sfq perturb -10 # negative value : error
Error: sch_sfq: invalid perturb period.

tc qd add dev lo root sfq perturb 1000000000 # too big : error
Error: sch_sfq: invalid perturb period.

tc qd add dev lo root sfq perturb 2000000 # acceptable value
tc -s -d qd sh dev lo
