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.
