Agreed. Also, I am wondering in general if its a good idea for the HTB
offload implementation to be dictating what parameters are and are not
supported.

	if (q->offload) {
		/* Options not supported by the offload. */
		if (hopt->rate.overhead || hopt->ceil.overhead) {
			NL_SET_ERR_MSG(extack, "HTB offload doesn't support the overhead parameter");
			goto failure;
		}
		if (hopt->rate.mpu || hopt->ceil.mpu) {
			NL_SET_ERR_MSG(extack, "HTB offload doesn't support the mpu parameter");
			goto failure;
		}
		if (hopt->quantum) {
			NL_SET_ERR_MSG(extack, "HTB offload doesn't support the quantum parameter");
			goto failure;
		}
	}

Every time a vendor introduces support for a new offload parameter,
netdevs that cannot support said parameter are affected. I think it
would be better to remove this block and expect each driver to check
what parameters are and are not supported for their offload flow.
