br_mrp_start_test() and br_mrp_start_in_test() accept the user-supplied
interval value from netlink without validation. When interval is 0,
usecs_to_jiffies(0) yields 0, causing the delayed work
(br_mrp_test_work_expired / br_mrp_in_test_work_expired) to reschedule
itself with zero delay. This creates a tight loop on system_percpu_wq
that allocates and transmits MRP test frames at maximum rate, exhausting
all system memory and causing a kernel panic via OOM deadlock.
The same zero-interval issue applies to br_mrp_start_in_test_parse()
for interconnect test frames.
Use NLA_POLICY_MIN(NLA_U32, 1) in the nla_policy tables for both
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_START_TEST_INTERVAL and
IFLA_BRIDGE_MRP_START_IN_TEST_INTERVAL, so zero is rejected at the
netlink attribute parsing layer before the value ever reaches the
workqueue scheduling code. This is consistent with how other bridge
subsystems (br_fdb, br_mst) enforce range constraints on netlink
attributes.
