net: sched: Allow extending set of supported RED flags 



The qdiscs RED, GRED, SFQ and CHOKE use different subsets of the same pool
of global RED flags. These are passed in tc_red_qopt.flags. However none of
these qdiscs validate the flag field, and just copy it over wholesale to
internal structures, and later dump it back. (An exception is GRED, which
does validate for VQs -- however not for the main setup.)

A broken userspace can therefore configure a qdisc with arbitrary
unsupported flags, and later expect to see the flags on qdisc dump. The
current ABI therefore allows storage of several bits of custom data to
qdisc instances of the types mentioned above. How many bits, depends on
which flags are meaningful for the qdisc in question. E.g. SFQ recognizes
flags ECN and HARDDROP, and the rest is not interpreted.

If SFQ ever needs to support ADAPTATIVE, it needs another way of doing it,
and at the same time it needs to retain the possibility to store 6 bits of
uninterpreted data. Likewise RED, which adds a new flag later in this
patchset.

To that end, this patch adds a new function, red_get_flags(), to split the
passed flags of RED-like qdiscs to flags and user bits, and
red_validate_flags() to validate the resulting configuration. It further
adds a new attribute, TCA_RED_FLAGS, to pass arbitrary flags.
