there are some out of bound accesses in netprio cgroup.

now before accessing the dev->priomap.priomap array,we only check
if the dev->priomap exist.and because we don't want to see
additional bound checkings in fast path, so we should make sure
that dev->priomap is null or array size of dev->priomap.priomap
is equal to max_prioidx + 1;

so in write_priomap logic,we should call extend_netdev_table when
dev->priomap is null and dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len.
and in cgrp_create->update_netdev_tables logic,we should call
extend_netdev_table only when dev->priomap exist and
dev->priomap.priomap_len < max_len.

and it's not needed to call update_netdev_tables in write_priomap,
we can only allocate the net device's priomap which we change through
net_prio.ifpriomap.

this patch also add a return value for update_netdev_tables &
extend_netdev_table, so when new_priomap is allocated failed,
write_priomap will stop to access the priomap,and return -ENOMEM
back to the userspace to tell the user what happend.

Change From v3:
1. add rtnl protect when reading max_prioidx in write_priomap.

2. only call extend_netdev_table when map->priomap_len < max_len,
this will make sure array size of dev->map->priomap always
bigger than any prioidx.

3. add a function write_update_netdev_table to make codes clear.

Change From v2:
1. protect extend_netdev_table by RTNL.
2. when extend_netdev_table failed,call dev_put to reduce device's refcount.

Gao,

This introduces a null ptr dereference when netprio_cgroup is built
into the kernel because update_netdev_tables() depends on init_net.
However cgrp_create is being called by cgroup_init before
do_initcalls() is called and before net_dev_init().
