ETS proportions are presented to HWRM_QUEUE_COS2BW_CFG as minimum
bandwidth constraints. Thus, zero is a legal value for a given TC.
However, if all the other TCs sum up to 100%, then at least one
hardware queue will starve, resulting in guaranteed TX timeouts.
Reject such nonsensical configurations.
