net: sched: use block index as a handle instead of qdisc when block is shared
As the tcm_ifindex with value TCM_IFINDEX_MAGIC_BLOCK is invalid ifindex, use it to indicate that we work with block, instead of qdisc. So if tcm_ifindex is set to TCM_IFINDEX_MAGIC_BLOCK, tcm_parent is used to carry block_index. If the block is set to be shared between at least 2 qdiscs, it is forbidden to use the qdisc handle to add/delete filters. In that case, userspace has to pass block_index. Also, for dump of the filters, in case the block is shared in between at least 2 qdiscs, the each filter is dumped with tcm_ifindex value TCM_IFINDEX_MAGIC_BLOCK and tcm_parent set to block_index. That gives the user clear indication, that the filter belongs to a shared block and not only to one qdisc under which it is dumped.
