Ziyi Guo 2993e0f904 xen-netback: reject zero-queue configuration from guest
[ Upstream commit 6d1dc80143 ]

A malicious or buggy Xen guest can write "0" to the xenbus key
"multi-queue-num-queues". The connect() function in the backend only
validates the upper bound (requested_num_queues > xenvif_max_queues)
but not zero, allowing requested_num_queues=0 to reach
vzalloc(array_size(0, sizeof(struct xenvif_queue))), which triggers
WARN_ON_ONCE(!size) in __vmalloc_node_range().

On systems with panic_on_warn=1, this allows a guest-to-host denial
of service.

The Xen network interface specification requires
the queue count to be "greater than zero".

Add a zero check to match the validation already present
in xen-blkback, which has included this
guard since its multi-queue support was added.
