net: sched: Introduce helpers for qevent blocks
Qevents are attach points for TC blocks, where filters can be put that are executed when "interesting events" take place in a qdisc. The data to keep and the functions to invoke to maintain a qevent will be largely the same between qevents. Therefore introduce sched-wide helpers for qevent management. Currently, similarly to ingress and egress blocks of clsact pseudo-qdisc, blocks attachment cannot be changed after the qdisc is created. To that end, add a helper tcf_qevent_validate_change(), which verifies whether block index attribute is not attached, or if it is, whether its value matches the current one (i.e. there is no material change). The function tcf_qevent_handle() should be invoked when qdisc hits the "interesting event" corresponding to a block. This function releases root lock for the duration of executing the attached filters, to allow packets generated through user actions (notably mirred) to be reinserted to the same qdisc tree.
