Liu Jian d1f9f79fa2 net: let net.core.dev_weight always be non-zero
The following problem was encountered during stability test:

(NULL net_device): NAPI poll function process_backlog+0x0/0x530 \
	returned 1, exceeding its budget of 0.

list_add double add: new=ffff88905f746f48, prev=ffff88905f746f48, \
	next=ffff88905f746e40.

The reproduction command is as follows:
  sysctl -w net.core.dev_weight=0
  ping 127.0.0.1

This is because when the napi's weight is set to 0, process_backlog() may
return 0 and clear the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit of napi->state, causing this
napi to be re-polled in net_rx_action() until __do_softirq() times out.
Since the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit has been cleared, napi_schedule_rps() can
be retriggered in enqueue_to_backlog(), causing this issue.

Making the napi's weight always non-zero solves this problem.

Triggering this issue requires system-wide admin (setting is
not namespaced).

Fixes: 3d48b53fb2 ("net: dev_weight: TX/RX orthogonality")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
