Only the entries below dev->num_tc are valid in dev->tc_to_txq[], and
dev->prio_tc_map[] may only name classes below it. netdev_set_num_tc()
lowers dev->num_tc without touching either array.

netdev_txq_to_tc() walks all TC_MAX_QUEUE slots and
netdev_get_prio_tc_map() returns the entry as it stands, so a leftover
entry is handed out as a traffic class >= dev->num_tc. Taking that
class from netdev_txq_to_tc(), __netif_set_xps_queue() rejects only a
negative one and indexes an XPS map sized for dev->num_tc classes:

	tci = j * num_tc + tc;
	RCU_INIT_POINTER(new_dev_maps->attr_map[tci], map);

Any caller that lowers num_tc leaves such entries behind, and
mqprio_destroy() tears down with netdev_set_num_tc(dev, 0) rather than
netdev_reset_tc(). After mqprio with 8 classes then 1, tc_to_txq[1..7]
still describe txq 1..7. The splat is from an XPS write to txq 2:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in __netif_set_xps_queue+0x1eb9/0x2440
  Write of size 8 at addr ffff888110e978d8 by task xps_oob/573
   __netif_set_xps_queue+0x1eb9/0x2440
   xps_rxqs_store+0x24d/0x360
   netdev_queue_attr_store+0x61/0x90
  Allocated by task 573:
   __kmalloc_noprof+0x246/0x6c0
   __netif_set_xps_queue+0x8ca/0x2440
  The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
   allocated 88-byte region [ffff888110e97880, ffff888110e978d8)

Reject a class the map has no room for.

v2:
  - bound the class in __netif_set_xps_queue() instead of clearing
    dev->tc_to_txq[]/dev->prio_tc_map[] in netdev_set_num_tc(), per the
    Sashiko review of v1
  - dropped the memory-ordering claim from the changelog
  - retitled
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/16E3A318-5532-4B5E-8D03-86D21B463A2D@doyensec.com/
