net/sched: taprio: automatically calculate queueMaxSDU based on TC gate durations

taprio today has a huge problem with small TC gate durations, because it
might accept packets in taprio_enqueue() which will never be sent by
taprio_dequeue().

Since not much infrastructure was available, a kludge was added in
commit 497cc002 ("taprio: Handle short intervals and large
packets"), which segmented large TCP segments, but the fact of the
matter is that the issue isn't specific to large TCP segments (and even
worse, the performance penalty in segmenting those is absolutely huge).

In commit a54fc09e

 ("net/sched: taprio: allow user input of per-tc
max SDU"), taprio gained support for queueMaxSDU, which is precisely the
mechanism through which packets should be dropped at qdisc_enqueue() if
they cannot be sent.

After that patch, it was necessary for the user to manually limit the
maximum MTU per TC. This change adds the necessary logic for taprio to
further limit the values specified (or not specified) by the user to
some minimum values which never allow oversized packets to be sent.
