[SRU][N][PATCH 1/1] net: ioam6: fix OOB and missing lock

From: Justin Iurman <justin.iurman at gmail.com>

When trace->type.bit6 is set:

    if (trace->type.bit6) {
        ...
        queue = skb_get_tx_queue(dev, skb);
        qdisc = rcu_dereference(queue->qdisc);

This code can lead to an out-of-bounds access of the dev->_tx[] array
when is_input is true. In such a case, the packet is on the RX path and
skb->queue_mapping contains the RX queue index of the ingress device. If
the ingress device has more RX queues than the egress device (dev) has
TX queues, skb_get_queue_mapping(skb) will exceed dev->num_tx_queues.
Add a check to avoid this situation since skb_get_tx_queue() does not
clamp the index. This issue has also revealed that per queue visibility
cannot be accurate and will be replaced later as a new feature.

While at it, add missing lock around qdisc_qstats_qlen_backlog(). The
function __ioam6_fill_trace_data() is called from both softirq and
process contexts, hence the use of spin_lock_bh() here.

[bot_kybele: Used skb_dst(skb)->dev instead of upstream's local `dev` var
 (absent here), and applied only the OOB queue-mapping check since the
 spin_lock_bh around qdisc_qstats_qlen_backlog already existed in this tree.]
