netfilter: nft_queue: add _SREG_QNUM attr to select the queue number
Currently, the user can specify the queue numbers by _QUEUE_NUM and
_QUEUE_TOTAL attributes, this is enough in most situations.
But acctually, it is not very flexible, for example:
tcp dport 80 mapped to queue0
tcp dport 81 mapped to queue1
tcp dport 82 mapped to queue2
In order to do this thing, we must add 3 nft rules, and more
mapping meant more rules ...
So take one register to select the queue number, then we can add one
simple rule to mapping queues, maybe like this:
queue num tcp dport map { 80:0, 81:1, 82:2 ... }
Florian Westphal also proposed wider usage scenarios:
queue num jhash ip saddr . ip daddr mod ...
queue num meta cpu ...
queue num meta mark ...
The last point is how to load a queue number from sreg, although we can
use *(u16*)®s->data[reg] to load the queue number, just like nat expr
to load its l4port do.
But we will cooperate with hash expr, meta cpu, meta mark expr and so on.
They all store the result to u32 type, so cast it to u16 pointer and
dereference it will generate wrong result in the big endian system.
So just keep it simple, we treat queue number as u32 type, although u16
type is already enough.
