Subject: net: make sure we never create ifindex = 0
From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ceaac91dcd065db781d1ed5dfaef0686b8ec44dc upstream.
Instead of allocating from 1 use proper xa_init flag,
to protect ourselves from IDs wrapping back to 0.
Fixes: 759ab1edb56c ("net: store netdevs in an xarray")
