net/sched: act_gate: budget the per-entry list in get_fill_size
tcf_gate_get_fill_size returns only the TCA_GATE_PARMS size, but tcf_gate_dump also emits three 64-bit timestamps, the clock id, flags, priority and the variable-length TCA_GATE_ENTRY_LIST nest. The per-entry nest is unbounded: parse_gate_list places no cap on the number of sched-entries, so a gate with many entries can push the real dump well past the skb that tca_get_fill allocates from this size. RTM_NEWACTION then fails the add-notify with -EINVAL while the action is already committed to the IDR, and a subsequent RTM_GETACTION on the installed gate also returns -EINVAL because its dump no longer fits. Fix this by accounting for the missing fields in tcf_gate_get_fill_size along with all elements in the entries list. Note that sizing the reply from the action lets an oversized gate install cleanly for the first time: with the input unbounded by parse_gate_list, the sized skb can now grow well above NLMSG_GOODSIZE per netlink request (a transient GFP_KERNEL allocation reachable only with namespace-local CAP_NET_ADMIN). Overload from a malicious netns admin is hardening material, not net, per the discussion at https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260914191108.55a1a4f1@kernel.org/; a follow-up patch for net-next will cap the sched-entry count.
