[PATCH v2 net 2/7] net/sched: taprio: fix cycle time adjustment for next entry

According to IEEE Std. 802.1Q-2018 section Q.5 CycleTimeExtension:
"the Cycle Time Extension variable allows this extension of the last old
cycle to be done in a defined way. If the last complete old cycle would
normally end less than OperCycleTimeExtension nanoseconds before the new
base time, then the last complete cycle before AdminBaseTime is reached
is extended so that it ends at AdminBaseTime."

The current taprio implementation does not extend the last old cycle in
the defined manner specified in the Qbv Spec. This is part of the fix
covered in this patch.

Here are the changes made:

1. A new API, get_cycle_time_correction(), has been added to return the
correction value. If it returns a non-initialize value, it indicates
changes required for the next entry schedule, and upon the completion
of the next entry's duration, entries will be loaded from the new admin
schedule.

2. Store correction values in cycle_time_correction:
a) Positive correction value/extension
We calculate the correction between the last operational cycle and the
new admin base time. Note that for positive correction to take place,
the next entry should be the last entry from oper and the new admin base
time falls within the next cycle time of old oper.

b) Negative correction value
The new admin base time starts earlier than the next entry's end time.

c) Zero correction value
The new admin base time aligns exactly with the old cycle.

3. When cycle_time_correction is set to a non-initialized value, it is
used to:
a) Indicate that cycle correction is active to trigger adjustments in
affected fields like interval and cycle_time. A new API,
cycle_corr_active(), has been created to help with this purpose.

b) Transition to the new admin schedule at the beginning of
advance_sched(). A new API, should_change_sched(), has been introduced
for this purpose.

4. Remove the previous definition of should_change_scheds() API. A new
should_change_sched() API has been introduced, but it serves a
completely different purpose than the one that was removed.
