net/sched: clamp skb->queue_mapping before indexing the tx queue

This issue was caught by Sashiko (nipa). A producer-side path cap is
already merged (ea4d4b5ddd); this patch adds the matching consumer-side
caps.

The issue:
The tx queue is picked and capped in netdev_core_pick_tx() before the
__dev_xmit_skb() qdisc enqueue path. A tc BPF program running inside an
egress qdisc (not clsact) can then change __sk_buff->queue_mapping; that
store is never re-checked. bpf_convert_ctx_access() bounds it only by
NO_QUEUE_MAPPING, not by the device's queue count.

Two consumers read the stale value:

  - On dequeue, qdisc_restart() calls netdev_get_tx_queue(), which
    indexes dev->_tx[]. netdev_get_tx_queue() guards it with just a
    DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE, so sch_direct_xmit() takes the out-of-bounds
    txq->_xmit_lock and writes txq->xmit_lock_owner past the end of the
    allocation on non-lltx devices such as ifb. Drivers that index their
    rings from skb_get_queue_mapping() (ex: ifb) go out of range the same
    way.

  - On enqueue, taprio_enqueue() indexes q->qdiscs[] with the same value;
    the array is sized dev->num_tx_queues. A duplicating netem on a child
    qdisc clones the skb and re-enqueues the clone at the taprio root
    (qdisc_root_bh()) through a direct rootq->enqueue() call, so the value
    reaches taprio_enqueue() before any dequeue cap runs.

The Fix:
Cap the mapping at the consumers and write the capped value back, so the
qdisc's _tx[] lookup, the taprio q->qdiscs[] lookup and any later driver
read stay in range.

On the dequeue side the cap folds into the dequeue path instead of a
separate walk over the returned list: dequeue_skb() caps the head, and
each bulk helper caps the element it appends. For a qdisc that is not
TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE, netdev_cap_txqueue() logs a ratelimited notice and
selects queue 0.

A TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE qdisc is bound to a single tx queue: dequeue_skb() uses
q->dev_queue for the frozen check, the BQL limit and the trace point, while
qdisc_restart() transmits on the skb's queue. Capping an out-of-range
mapping to queue 0 would therefore send a per-queue child's skb through a
different queue than the one it was dequeued for. On mq, mqprio, taprio and
htb offload children, a stopped queue 0 could then park the list in
q->gso_skb, and the later wake would schedule queue 0's own child instead
of this qdisc. Pin a TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE mapping to the qdisc's own queue to
keep the documented invariant.

The pin covers every mapping, not only an out-of-range one: an in-range
mapping that a filter sets on one of those per-queue children is rewritten
to the child's own queue, and this path does not call netdev_cap_txqueue(),
so it logs no notice. On a single-queue device qdisc_create() sets
TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE, so the one-queue trigger described below also takes this
branch and is corrected without a notice.

That also keeps a bulk list on one queue by construction: every element of
a TCQ_F_ONETXQUEUE qdisc, including a follower changed by a filter, is
pinned to q->dev_queue before it is appended. The fast bulk helper
therefore needs no head comparison and no skb_bad_txq requeue; the slow
helper, used only by non-ONETXQUEUE qdiscs, still compares and requeues a
mismatched follower, where a wake on any queue reschedules q.

On the enqueue side taprio_enqueue() caps the mapping against
real_num_tx_queues and writes it back before selecting q->qdiscs[queue], so
a duplicating child cannot steer the clone out of the array.

Conditions to recreate the bug:
The dequeue path: load a SCHED_CLS or SCHED_ACT program that stores
__sk_buff->queue_mapping (a tc BPF action is enough), attach it to a
transmit qdisc (for example a matchall filter on a prio root), and send a
packet. With a 1-queue device a store of 1 indexes one past dev->_tx[].
Under KASAN with panic_on_warn=1 the unfixed kernel faults with "BUG:
KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in sch_direct_xmit". Loading the program needs
CAP_BPF/CAP_SYS_ADMIN, so the trigger is root.

The enqueue path: on a multi-queue device, install a software taprio root,
graft a prio child with a duplicating netem on every class, and store an
out-of-range queue_mapping from a matchall+bpf filter on the prio. The
duplicate is re-enqueued at the taprio root and indexes q->qdiscs[] past
dev->num_tx_queues; the unfixed kernel faults in taprio_enqueue_one().
Same CAP_BPF/CAP_SYS_ADMIN requirement.
