Subject: [Patch net] net_sched: reject TCF_EM_SIMPLE case for complex ematch module

From: Cong Wang <cong.wang@...edance.com>

When TCF_EM_SIMPLE was introduced, it is supposed to be convenient
for ematch implementation:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20050105110048.GO26856@postel.suug.ch/

"You don't have to, providing a 32bit data chunk without TCF_EM_SIMPLE
set will simply result in allocating & copy. It's an optimization,
nothing more."

So if an ematch module provides ops->datalen that means it wants a
complex data structure (saved in its em->data) instead of a simple u32
value. We should simply reject such a combination, otherwise this u32
could be misinterpreted as a pointer.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
