Andrew Gallatin 64c00d81b5 pktgen: prevent pktgen from using bad tx queue
With the new multi-queue transmit code, it is possible to accidentally
make pktgen pick a non-existing tx queue simply by using a stale
script to drive pktgen.  Access to this non-existing tx queue will
then trigger a bad memory access and kill the machine.

For example, setting "queue_map_max 2" will cause my machine to die
when accessing a garbage spinlock in the non-existing tx queue:

BUG: spinlock bad magic on CPU#0, kpktgend_0/564
  lock: ffff88001ddf6718, .magic: ffffffff, .owner: /-1, .owner_cpu: 0
Pid: 564, comm: kpktgend_0 Not tainted 2.6.27-rc3 #35

Call Trace:

The attached patch adds some sanity checking to prevent
these sorts of configuration errors.
