struct gnet_stats_rate_est contains u32 fields, so the bytes per second
field can wrap at 34360Mbit.

Add a new gnet_stats_rate_est64 structure to get 64bit bps/pps fields,
and switch the kernel to use this structure natively.

This structure is dumped to user space as a new attribute :

TCA_STATS_RATE_EST64

Old tc command will now display the capped bps (to 34360Mbit), instead
of wrapped values, and updated tc command will display correct
information.

Old tc command output, after patch :

eric:~# tc -s -d qd sh dev lo
qdisc pfifo 8001: root refcnt 2 limit 1000p
 Sent 80868245400 bytes 1978837 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
 rate 34360Mbit 189696pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0

This patch carefully reorganizes "struct Qdisc" layout to get optimal
performance on SMP.

commit 4a5a5c73b7cfee (slightly better error reporting) added some
useless code in xt_rateest_mt_checkentry().

Fix this so that different error codes can really be returned.

In future, layer-3 matches will be an xt module of their own, and
need to set the fragoff and thoff fields. Adding more pointers would
needlessy increase memory requirements (esp. so for 64-bit, where
pointers are wider).

When extended status codes are available, such as ENOMEM on failed
allocations, or subsequent functions (e.g. nf_ct_get_l3proto), passing
them up to userspace seems like a good idea compared to just always
EINVAL.

Restore function signatures from bool to int so that we can report
memory allocation failures or similar using -ENOMEM rather than
always having to pass -EINVAL back.

This semantic patch may not be too precise (checking for functions
that use xt_mtchk_param rather than functions referenced by
xt_match.checkentry), but reviewed, it produced the intended result.

As noticed by Török Edwin &lt;edwintorok@gmail.com&gt;:

Compiling the kernel with clang has shown this warning:

net/netfilter/xt_rateest.c:69:16: warning: self-comparison always results in a
constant value
                        ret &amp;= pps2 == pps2;
                                    ^
Looking at the code:
if (info-&gt;flags &amp; XT_RATEEST_MATCH_BPS)
            ret &amp;= bps1 == bps2;
        if (info-&gt;flags &amp; XT_RATEEST_MATCH_PPS)
            ret &amp;= pps2 == pps2;

Judging from the MATCH_BPS case it seems to be a typo, with the intention of
comparing pps1 with pps2.
