  When drivers call netif_napi_add_weight with a weight that is larger
than NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT, the networking code allows the larger weight, but
prints an error.

Replicate this check for SO_BUSY_POLL_BUDGET; check if the user
specified amount exceeds NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT, allow it anyway, but print an
error.

This is code run by privileged (CAP_NET_ADMIN) users,
please do not spam the console with such a message.

My point was : Do not allow an unpriv user to set an arbitrary value.

netif_napi_add_weight() is used from kernel drivers, we network
maintainers usually object
if a driver attempts to use a big value, at code review time.

'val' is a signed value variable. I suspect it will never be negative given
the line above (val < 0 || val > U16_MAX), but, I am wondering if you
should still print it as signed integer (%d) to keep it consistent.
