net_sched: sch_fq: convert skb->tstamp if not monotonic

FQ currently assumes skb->tstamp holds monotonic time, as used by TCP.

Users with ns_capable CAP_NET_ADMIN can transmit skbs using SO_TXTIME
with CLOCK_MONOTONIC, CLOCK_REALTIME or CLOCK_TAI clockids as of
commit 80b14dee2bea ("net: Add a new socket option for a future
transmit time.")

More recently, skbs also gained tstamp_type to explicitly communicate
the clockid of skb->tstamp, with commit 4d25ca2d6801 ("net: Rename
mono_delivery_time to tstamp_type for scalabilty"), commit
1693c5db6ab8 ("net: Add additional bit to support clockid_t timestamp
type") and a few others.

Detect other clocks and convert to monotonic for use in FQ. That is,
convert fq_skb_cb(skb)->time_to_send. Do not convert skb->tstamp
itself. Network device clocks are more commonly synchronized to TAI.

Conversion may be imprecise due to clock adjustment (e.g., adjfreq)
between when SCM_TSTAMP is set and when it is converted in fq_enqueue.
The common codepath is short, so skew will be well below common pacing
operation. Even in edge cases, bursts (too soon) or beyond horizon
(too late) are indistinguishable from network conditions. To which
senders must be robust, as long as infrequent.

Avoid overflow due to negative offsets becoming huge when converting
from signed ktime_t to u64 time_to_send. Bound lower to mono 1 and
upper to now + q->horizon. This protects against bad input, e.g.,
from BPF programs.

Detect legacy BPF programs that program skb->tstamp without setting
skb->tstamp_type. Here tstamp_type is zero (SKB_CLOCK_REALTIME), but
the value will be unrealistic for realtime in the 21st century. Follow
existing TIME_UPTIME_SEC_MAX as bound between mono and realtime.
