Jesper Dangaard Brouer 84c46dd865 qdisc: catch misconfig of attaching qdisc to tx_queue_len zero device 
It is a clear misconfiguration to attach a qdisc to a device with
tx_queue_len zero, because some qdisc's (namely, pfifo, bfifo, gred,
htb, plug and sfb) inherit/copy this value as their queue length.

Why should the kernel catch such a misconfiguration?  Because prior to
introducing the IFF_NO_QUEUE device flag, userspace found a loophole
in the qdisc config system that allowed them to achieve the equivalent
of IFF_NO_QUEUE, which is to remove the qdisc code path entirely from
a device.  The loophole on older kernels is setting tx_queue_len=0,
*prior* to device qdisc init (the config time is significant, simply
setting tx_queue_len=0 doesn't trigger the loophole).

This loophole is currently used by Docker[1] to get better performance
and scalability out of the veth device.  The Docker developers were
warned[1] that they needed to adjust the tx_queue_len if ever
attaching a qdisc.  The OpenShift project didn't remember this warning
and attached a qdisc, this were caught and fixed in[2].

[1] https://github.com/docker/libcontainer/pull/193
[2] https://github.com/openshift/origin/pull/11126

Instead of fixing every userspace program that used this loophole, and
forgot to reset the tx_queue_len, prior to attaching a qdisc.  Let's
catch the misconfiguration on the kernel side.
