[PATCH net v5 6/9] net/sched: act_mirred: Fix blockcast recursion bypass leading to stack overflow

[Jamal Hadi Salim <jhs@mojatatu.com>]

From: "Kito Xu (veritas501)" <hxzene@gmail.com>

tcf_mirred_act() checks sched_mirred_nest against MIRRED_NEST_LIMIT (4)
to prevent deep recursion.  However, when the action uses blockcast
(tcfm_blockid != 0), the function returns at the tcf_blockcast() call
BEFORE reaching the counter increment.  As a result, the recursion
counter never advances and the limit check is entirely bypassed.

When two devices share a TC egress block with a mirred blockcast rule,
a packet egressing on device A is mirrored to device B via blockcast;
device B's egress TC re-enters tcf_mirred_act() via blockcast and
mirrors back to A, creating an unbounded recursion loop:

  tcf_mirred_act -> tcf_blockcast -> tcf_mirred_to_dev -> dev_queue_xmit
  -> sch_handle_egress -> tcf_classify -> tcf_mirred_act -> (repeat)

This recursion continues until the kernel stack overflows.

The bug is reachable from an unprivileged user via
unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_NEWNET): user namespaces grant
CAP_NET_ADMIN in the new network namespace, which is sufficient to
create dummy devices, attach clsact qdiscs with shared blocks, and
install mirred blockcast filters.

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Fix this by incrementing sched_mirred_nest before calling
tcf_blockcast() and decrementing it on return, mirroring the
non-blockcast path.  This ensures subsequent recursive entries see the
updated counter and are correctly limited by MIRRED_NEST_LIMIT.
