can: isotp: set default value for N_As to 50 micro seconds

[ Upstream commit 530e0d46c61314c59ecfdb8d3bcb87edbc0f85d3 ]

The N_As value describes the time a CAN frame needs on the wire when
transmitted by the CAN controller. Even very short CAN FD frames need
arround 100 usecs (bitrate 1Mbit/s, data bitrate 8Mbit/s).

Having N_As to be zero (the former default) leads to 'no CAN frame
separation' when STmin is set to zero by the receiving node. This 'burst
mode' should not be enabled by default as it could potentially dump a high
number of CAN frames into the netdev queue from the soft hrtimer context.
This does not affect the system stability but is just not nice and
cooperative.

With this N_As/frame_txtime value the 'burst mode' is disabled by default.

As user space applications usually do not set the frame_txtime element
of struct can_isotp_options the new in-kernel default is very likely
overwritten with zero when the sockopt() CAN_ISOTP_OPTS is invoked.
To make sure that a N_As value of zero is only set intentional the
value '0' is now interpreted as 'do not change the current value'.
When a frame_txtime of zero is required for testing purposes this
CAN_ISOTP_FRAME_TXTIME_ZERO u32 value has to be set in frame_txtime.
