Subject: [PATCH] netdevice: don't warn when capping txqueue 0

With commit d7dac083414e ("net-sysfs: update the queue counts in the
unregistration path"), we started seeing the following warning message
during our stress test that streams packets out of a device while
registering and unregistering it:

et3_11_1 selects TX queue 0, but real number of TX queues is 0

The issue is that remove_queue_kobjects() is setting real_num_tx_queues
to 0 before the last few packets are queued. When netdev_cap_txqueue()
is called to cap queue = 0, it emits this message.

However, when queue == real_num_tx_queues == 0, this message doesn't
make much sense because 0 is the fallback value returned
anyway. Therefore, omit the warning when queue is already the fallback
value of 0.

Fixes: d7dac083414e ("net-sysfs: update the queue counts in the unregistration path")
