Yes some checking during TUNSETQUEUE is missed.

Also needed for qemu too since it may call TUNSETQUEUE when guest wants
to change the number of queues.

Currently, the following steps is allowed:

1. fd1 = open("/dev/net/tun");
2. tunsetiff(fd1, "tap0");
3. tunsetpersistent("tap0");
4. close(fd1);
5. fd2 = open("/dev/net/tun");
6. tunsetqueue(fd2, "tap0);

Looks like step 6 should be forbidden since:

- no fd/sockets were attached to the device, we need use TUNSETIFF
instead to keep the API as we used do in single queue tun
- we need update the security information in tun_struct just like what
we discussed in this mail
- it may also miss checks in TUNSETIFF
