sch_cake: Interpret fwmark parameter as a bitmask
We initially interpreted the fwmark parameter as a flag that simply turned on the feature, using the whole skb->mark field as the index into the CAKE tin_order array. However, it is quite common for different applications to use different parts of the mask field for their own purposes, each using a different mask. Support this use of subsets of the mark by interpreting the TCA_CAKE_FWMARK parameter as a bitmask to apply to the fwmark field when reading it. The result will be right-shifted by the number of unset lower bits of the mask before looking up the tin. In the original commit message we also failed to credit Felix Resch with originally suggesting the fwmark feature back in 2017; so the Suggested-By in this commit covers the whole fwmark feature.
