[PATCH net-next] veth: clear rx queue hint in veth_xmit

[Jiayuan Chen <jiayuan.chen@linux.dev>]

With more tx queues on one end of a veth pair than rx queues on the
other, and RPS or generic XDP enabled on the receiving end, we get:

    veth1 received packet on queue 2, but number of RX queues is 2
    WARNING: net/core/dev.c:5212 at get_rps_cpu+0x560/0x1360

     ......

Easy to hit with "ethtool -L veth0 tx 4", "ethtool -L veth1 rx 2",
rps_cpus set on veth1 and a few flows sent over the pair [1].

veth_xmit() uses skb->queue_mapping to pick the peer rq, but never
clears it before veth_forward_skb(), so the rx side still sees the tx
queue index. Everything on the rx side that goes through
skb_get_rx_queue(), like get_rps_cpu() and netif_get_rxqueue() for
generic XDP, takes it as a recorded rx queue and warns once it is out
of range.

Clear it before handing the skb to the peer:

- It is the tx queue index of this device, it says nothing about the
  rx queue of the peer.

- The two sides don't even agree on the encoding. The tx side stores
  the index as is, the rx side stores index + 1 so that 0 can mean
  "not recorded". So tx queue k is read back as rx queue k - 1, and
  tx queue 0 as "not recorded".

- Commit 710ad98c363a ("veth: Do not record rx queue hint in
  veth_xmit") already decided that veth should not pass any queue
  hint to the peer. There is no tx->rx queue mapping to preserve, so
  nothing is lost by clearing it.

On NETDEV_TX_BUSY the skb goes back to the qdisc, which looks up the
txq from skb->queue_mapping to decide when to retry, so restore it
there, next to the existing __skb_push().

Target net-next since it is moderate.
Full reproducer, veth1 lives in netns ns1:

  ip netns add ns1
  ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
  ip link set veth1 netns ns1
  ethtool -L veth0  tx 4
  ip netns exec ns1 ethtool -L veth1 rx 2
  ip netns exec ns1 sh -c  'echo f > /sys/class/net/veth1/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus'
  ip addr add 10.9.9.1/24 dev veth0
  ip link set veth0 up
  ip netns exec ns1 ip addr add 10.9.9.2/24 dev veth1
  ip netns exec ns1 ip link set veth1 up
  for i in $(seq 200); do echo hi > /dev/udp/10.9.9.2/9999; done
