net/sched: fq_pie: clamp quantum in change path

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: fq_pie: clamp quantum in change path fq_pie_change() accepts any quantum value from userspace, including 1. With a crafted size table qdisc_pkt_len reaches ~2 GiB, so quantum=1 makes the deficit-refill loop spin ~2^31 times under the qdisc lock (a soft lockup / denial of service). Add max(256U, ...) matching fq_codel_change(). Conditions to recreate the bug: CONFIG_NET_SCH_FQ_PIE=y. Requires CAP_NET_ADMIN (namespace-local via unshare -Urn suffices). tc qdisc add dev dummy0 root fq_pie tc qdisc change dev dummy0 root fq_pie quantum 1 stab data 32768 size_log 15 cell_log 0
