[PATCH net-next-2.6] filter: Add SKF_AD_QUEUE instruction

[PATCH net-next-2.6] filter: Add SKF_AD_QUEUE instruction

[Eric Dumazet]

It can help being able to filter packets on their queue_mapping.

If filter performance is not good, we could add a "numqueue" field
in struct packet_type, so that netif_nit_deliver() and other functions
can directly ignore packets with not expected queue number.

Lets experiment this simple filter extension first.

Applied, I had to adjust the SKF_AD_* number due to a conflict
with Jamal's SKF_AD_MARK patch which is also applied to net-next-2.6
