Subject: [PATCH net] pkt_sched: fq: avoid hang when quantum 0

Configuring fq with quantum 0 hangs the system, presumably because of a
non-interruptible infinite loop. Either way quantum 0 does not make sense.

Reproduce with:
sudo tc qdisc add dev lo root fq quantum 0 initial_quantum 0
ping 127.0.0.1
