The intent is irrelevant. Using SCHED_CLS here will let users modify the packet
and some users will do so. Hence the tun code has to support it.

bpf prog can only return a 32-bit integer. That's true.
But the prog can use helpers to set any number of bits and variables.
bpf_set_hash_v2() with hash, queue and index arguments could fit this purpose,
but if you allow it for SCHED_CLS type,
tc side of the code should be ready to deal with that too and this extended
helper should be meaningful for both tc and tun.

In general if the purpose of the prog is to compute three values they better be
grouped together. Returned two of them via ORed 32-bit integer and
returning 32-bit via bpf_set_hash is an awkward api.
