net/sched: tbf: correct backlog statistic for GSO packets


[ Upstream commit 1596a135e3180c92e42dd1fbcad321f4fb3e3b17 ]

When the length of a GSO packet in the tbf qdisc is larger than the burst
size configured the packet will be segmented by the tbf_segment function.
Whenever this function is used to enqueue SKBs, the backlog statistic of
the tbf is not increased correctly. This can lead to underflows of the
'backlog' byte-statistic value when these packets are dequeued from tbf.

Reproduce the bug:
Ensure that the sender machine has GSO enabled. Configured the tbf on
the outgoing interface of the machine as follows (burstsize = 1 MTU):
$ tc qdisc add dev <oif> root handle 1: tbf rate 50Mbit burst 1514 latency 50ms

Send bulk TCP traffic out via this interface, e.g., by running an iPerf3
client on this machine. Check the qdisc statistics:
$ tc -s qdisc show dev <oif>

The 'backlog' byte-statistic has incorrect values while traffic is
transferred, e.g., high values due to u32 underflows. When the transfer
is stopped, the value is != 0, which should never happen.

This patch fixes this bug by updating the statistics correctly, even if
single SKBs of a GSO SKB cannot be enqueued.
