As reported[1] if query interval is set too low and we have multiple
bridges or even a single bridge with multiple querier vlans configured
we can crash the machine. Add a 1 second minimum which must be enforced
by overwriting the value if set lower (i.e. without returning an error) to
avoid breaking user-space. If that happens a log message is emitted to let
the administrator know that the interval has been set to the minimum.
The issue has been present since these intervals could be user-controlled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
