Current taprio code operates on a very simplistic (and incorrect)
assumption: that egress scheduling for a traffic class can only take
place for the duration of the current interval, or i.o.w., it assumes
that at the end of each schedule entry, there is a "gate close" event
for all traffic classes.

As an example, traffic sent with the schedule below will be jumpy, even
though all 8 TC gates are open, so there is absolutely no "gate close"
event (effectively a transition from BIT(tc)==1 to BIT(tc)==0 in
consecutive schedule entries):

tc qdisc replace dev veth0 parent root taprio \
	num_tc 2 \
	map 0 1 \
	queues 1@0 1@1 \
	base-time 0 \
	sched-entry S 0xff 4000000000 \
	clockid CLOCK_TAI \
	flags 0x0

This qdisc simply does not have what it takes in terms of logic to
*actually* compute the durations of traffic classes. Also, it does not
recognize the need to use this information on a per-traffic-class basis:
it always looks at entry->interval and entry->close_time.

This change proposes that each schedule entry has an array called
tc_gate_duration[tc]. This holds the information: "for how long will
this traffic class gate remain open, starting from *this* schedule
entry". If the traffic class gate is always open, that value is equal to
the cycle time of the schedule.

We'll also need to keep track, for the purpose of queueMaxSDU[tc]
calculation, what is the maximum time duration for a traffic class
having an open gate. This gives us directly what is the maximum sized
packet that this traffic class will have to accept. For everything else
it has to qdisc_drop() it in qdisc_enqueue().

v1->v2: rename "tc_gate" to just "gate" to reduce line length
