Subject: [PATCH net] net: enforce xmit_recursion for devices with a queue

Commit 745e20f1b626 ("net: add a recursion limit in xmit path")
introduced a recursion limit, but it only applies to devices without a
queue. Virtual devices with a queue (either because they don't have
the IFF_NO_QUEUE flag, or because the administrator added one) can
still cause an unbounded recursion, via __dev_queue_xmit ->
__dev_xmit_skb -> qdisc_run -> __qdisc_run -> qdisc_restart ->
sch_direct_xmit -> dev_hard_start_xmit . Jianlin reported this in a
setup with 16 gretap devices stacked on top of one another.

This patch prevents the stack overflow by incrementing xmit_recursion in
code paths that can call dev_hard_start_xmit() (like commit 745e20f1b626
did). If the recursion limit is exceeded, the packet is enqueued and the
qdisc is scheduled.

No fixes tag, I think this is at least as old as what 745e20f1b626
("net: add a recursion limit in xmit path") fixed.
