net_sched: sch_sfq: use a temporary work area for validating configuration
[ Upstream commit 8c0cea59d40cf6dd13c2950437631dd614fbade6 ] Many configuration parameters have influence on others (e.g. divisor -> flows -> limit, depth -> limit) and so it is difficult to correctly do all of the validation before applying the configuration. And if a validation error is detected late it is difficult to roll back a partially applied configuration. To avoid these issues use a temporary work area to update and validate the configuration and only then apply the configuration to the internal state.
