fou: reject omitted FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO on FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT

Browse Source 
Commit 7a9bc9e3f4 ("fou: Don't allow 0 for FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO.") added
NLA_POLICY_MIN(NLA_U8, 1) to fou_nl_policy[FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO], which
rejects an explicitly supplied FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO == 0 attribute with
-ERANGE.

However, FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO is an optional netlink attribute. When a user
sends FOU_CMD_ADD with FOU_ATTR_TYPE set to FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT and omits
FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO entirely, nla_policy validation succeeds and
parse_nl_config() leaves cfg->protocol as 0 (from memset(cfg, 0,
sizeof(*cfg))). fou_create() then creates a FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT socket with
fou->protocol == 0.

In fou_udp_recv(), returning -fou->protocol to udp_queue_rcv_one_skb()
triggers IP protocol resubmission when fou->protocol > 0, whereas
returning 0 tells the UDP tunnel layer that the skb was consumed without
freeing it. When fou->protocol == 0, every packet received on the socket
returns 0 from fou_udp_recv() and leaks the sk_buff.

Reject FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT when !cfg->protocol in fou_create() so that
creating a direct encapsulation port without FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO fails with
-EINVAL while leaving FOU_CMD_DEL and FOU_CMD_GET (which share
parse_nl_config()) unaffected.

Tested in QEMU against Linux 7.3.0-rc3 by sending a FOU_CMD_ADD Generic
Netlink request with FOU_ATTR_PORT = 5555 and FOU_ATTR_TYPE =
FOU_ENCAP_DIRECT while omitting FOU_ATTR_IPPROTO. On the unfixed kernel,
FOU_CMD_ADD succeeds (err = 0), FOU_CMD_GET reports fou->type = 1 and
fou->protocol = 0, and sending 4000 UDP packets to 127.0.0.1:5555 leaks
all 4000 sk_buffs (SUnreclaim in /proc/meminfo grows from 41456 kB to
59008 kB, +17552 kB); with this patch applied, FOU_CMD_ADD is rejected
with -EINVAL (-22).
