Commit 7acf8a1e8a28 ("Replace 2 jiffies with sysctl netdev_budget_usecs
to enable softirq tuning") added a possibility to set
net_hotdata.netdev_budget_usecs, but added no lower bound checking.
Commit a4837980fd9f ("net: revert default NAPI poll timeout to 2 jiffies")
made the *initial* value HZ-dependent, so the initial value is at least
2 jiffies even for lower HZ values (2 ms for 1000 Hz, 8ms for 250 Hz, 20
ms for 100 Hz).
But a user still can set improper values by a sysctl. Set .extra1
(the lower bound) for net_hotdata.netdev_budget_usecs to the same value
as in the latter commit. That is to 2 jiffies.
