Davide Caratti 7024339a1c net/sched: act_gate: fix NULL dereference in tcf_gate_init()
it is possible to see a KASAN use-after-free, immediately followed by a
NULL dereference crash, with the following command:

 # tc action add action gate index 3 cycle-time 100000000ns \
 > cycle-time-ext 100000000ns clockid CLOCK_TAI

this is caused by the test on 'cycletime_ext', that is still unassigned
when the action is newly created. This makes the action .init() return 0
without calling tcf_idr_insert(), hence the UAF + crash.

rework the logic that prevents zero values of cycle-time, as follows:

1) 'tcfg_cycletime_ext' seems to be unused in the action software path,
   and it was already possible by other means to obtain non-zero
   cycletime and zero cycletime-ext. So, removing that test should not
   cause any damage.
2) while at it, we must prevent overwriting configuration data with wrong
   ones: use a temporary variable for 'tcfg_cycletime', and validate it
   preserving the original semantic (that allowed computing the cycle
   time as the sum of all intervals, when not specified by
   TCA_GATE_CYCLE_TIME).
3) remove the test on 'tcfg_cycletime', no more useful, and avoid
   returning -EFAULT, which did not seem an appropriate return value for
   a wrong netlink attribute.

v3: fix uninitialized 'cycletime' (thanks to Vladimir Oltean)
v2: remove useless 'return;' at the end of void gate_get_start_time()

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
