Subject: [PATCH net 5/5] igc: fix the validation logic for taprio's gate list

From: AKASHI Takahiro <takahiro.akashi@...aro.org>

The check introduced in the commit a5fd39464a40 ("igc: Lift TAPRIO schedule
restriction") can detect a false positive error in some corner case.
For instance,
    tc qdisc replace ... taprio num_tc 4
	...
	sched-entry S 0x01 100000	# slot#1
	sched-entry S 0x03 100000	# slot#2
	sched-entry S 0x04 100000	# slot#3
	sched-entry S 0x08 200000	# slot#4
	flags 0x02			# hardware offload

Here the queue#0 (the first queue) is on at the slot#1 and #2,
and off at the slot#3 and #4. Under the current logic, when the slot#4
is examined, validate_schedule() returns *false* since the enablement
count for the queue#0 is two and it is already off at the previous slot
(i.e. #3). But this definition is truely correct.

Let's fix the logic to enforce a strict validation for consecutively-opened
slots.
