      net sched filters: fix notification of filter delete with proper handle · 9ee78374

      While trying out [1][2], I noticed that tc monitor doesn't show the
      correct handle on delete:
      
      $ tc monitor
      qdisc clsact ffff: dev eno1 parent ffff:fff1
      filter dev eno1 ingress protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0x2a [...]
      deleted filter dev eno1 ingress protocol all pref 49152 bpf handle 0xf3be0c80
      
      some context to explain the above:
      The user identity of any tc filter is represented by a 32-bit
      identifier encoded in tcm->tcm_handle. Example 0x2a in the bpf filter
      above. A user wishing to delete, get or even modify a specific filter
      uses this handle to reference it.
      Every classifier is free to provide its own semantics for the 32 bit handle.
      Example: classifiers like u32 use schemes like 800:1:801 to describe
      the semantics of their filters represented as hash table, bucket and
      node ids etc.
      Classifiers also have internal per-filter representation which is different
      from this externally visible identity. Most classifiers set this
      internal representation to be a pointer address (which allows fast retrieval
      of said filters in their implementations). This internal representation
      is referenced with the "fh" variable in the kernel control code.
      
      When a user successfuly deletes a specific filter, by specifying the correct
      tcm->tcm_handle, an event is generated to user space which indicates
      which specific filter was deleted.
      
      Before this patch, the "fh" value was sent to user space as the identity.
      As an example what is shown in the sample bpf filter delete event above
      is 0xf3be0c80. This is infact a 32-bit truncation of 0xffff8807f3be0c80
      which happens to be a 64-bit memory address of the internal filter
      representation (address of the corresponding filter's struct cls_bpf_prog);
      
      After this patch the appropriate user identifiable handle as encoded
      in the originating request tcm->tcm_handle is generated in the event.
      One of the cardinal rules of netlink rules is to be able to take an
      event (such as a delete in this case) and reflect it back to the
      kernel and successfully delete the filter. This patch achieves that.
      
      Note, this issue has existed since the original TC action
      infrastructure code patch back in 2004 as found in:
