Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] bpf: add skb->queue_mapping write access from tc
 clsact

The skb->queue_mapping already have read access, via __sk_buff->queue_mapping.

This patch allow BPF tc qdisc clsact write access to the queue_mapping via
tc_cls_act_is_valid_access.

It is already possible to change this via TC filter action skbedit
tc-skbedit(8).  Due to the lack of TC examples, lets show one:

 # tc qdisc  add  dev ixgbe1 handle ffff: ingress
 # tc filter add  dev ixgbe1 parent ffff: matchall action skbedit queue_mapping 5
 # tc filter list dev ixgbe1 parent ffff:

The most common mistake is that XPS (Transmit Packet Steering) takes
precedence over setting skb->queue_mapping. XPS is configured per DEVICE
via /sys/class/net/DEVICE/queues/tx-*/xps_cpus via a CPU hex mask. To
disable set mask=00.

The purpose of changing skb->queue_mapping is to influence the selection of
the net_device "txq" (struct netdev_queue), which influence selection of
the qdisc "root_lock" (via txq->qdisc->q.lock) and txq->_xmit_lock. When
using the MQ qdisc the txq->qdisc points to different qdiscs and associated
locks, and HARD_TX_LOCK (txq->_xmit_lock), allowing for CPU scalability.

Due to lack of TC examples, lets show howto attach clsact BPF programs:

 # tc qdisc  add     dev ixgbe2 clsact
 # tc filter replace dev ixgbe2 egress bpf da obj XXX_kern.o sec tc_qmap2cpu
 # tc filter list    dev ixgbe2 egress
