[net-next PATCH 1/4] net: fix IFF_NO_QUEUE for drivers using alloc_netdev

[Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>]

Printing a warning in alloc_netdev_mqs() if tx_queue_len is zero and
IFF_NO_QUEUE not set is not appropriate since drivers may use one of the
alloc_netdev* macros instead of alloc_etherdev*, thereby not
intentionally leaving tx_queue_len uninitialized. Instead check here if
tx_queue_len is zero and set IFF_NO_QUEUE, so the value of tx_queue_len
can be ignored in net/sched_generic.c.

Fixes: 906470c ("net: warn if drivers set tx_queue_len = 0")
