Subject: [PATCH v3 19/30] inet: frags: fix ip6frag_low_thresh boundary

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Giving an integer to proc_doulongvec_minmax() is dangerous on 64bit arches,
since linker might place next to it a non zero value preventing a change
to ip6frag_low_thresh.

ip6frag_low_thresh is not used anymore in the kernel, but we do not
want to prematuraly break user scripts wanting to change it.

Since specifying a minimal value of 0 for proc_doulongvec_minmax()
is moot, let's remove these zero values in all defrag units.

Fixes: 6e00f7dd5e4e ("ipv6: frags: fix /proc/sys/net/ipv6/ip6frag_low_thresh")
