An skb queued in a qdisc can outlive the tunnel it references
through a raw pointer in skb->cb. For example, a netem delay of
180s exceeds the default tunnel lifetime of 135s (igmp_qrv=1);
when the tunnel expires and is freed, the subsequent dequeue
triggers a use-after-free in amt_dev_xmit().

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in amt_dev_xmit+0x2763/0x2e20
  Call Trace:
   amt_dev_xmit+0x2763/0x2e20 [drivers/net/amt.c:1262]
   dev_hard_start_xmit+0x22f/0x620
   sch_direct_xmit+0x12e/0xac0
   netem_dequeue+0x333/0xc50
   net_tx_action+0x35c/0xa60

Store the tunnel identity (ip4 + source_port) in skb->cb instead
of a pointer, and re-lookup the tunnel under RCU in amt_dev_xmit().
If the tunnel is gone, the query is simply dropped.
