Subject: [PATCH net v3 1/3] net_sched: sch_sfq: use a temporary work area for
 validating configuration

Many configuration parameters have influence on others (e.g. divisor
-> flows -> limit, depth -> limit) and so it is difficult to correctly
do all of the validation before applying the configuration. And if a
validation error is detected late it is difficult to roll back a
partially applied configuration.

To avoid these issues use a temporary work area to update and validate
the configuration and only then apply the configuration to the
internal state.
