	Recent commit changed the semantics from NOT_VALID to VALID. I didn't realize that the flags are not stored atomically with the entry in XArray. There's still a race of reader observing a VALID mark for a slot, getting interrupted, writer replacing the entry with a different one, reader continuing, fetching the entry which is now a different pointer than the pointer for which VALID was meant. The biggest consequence of this is that we may see a UAF since net_shaper_rollback() assumed that entries without VALID can be freed without observing RCU. Looks like the XArray marks are buying us nothing at this point. Let's convert the code to an explicit valid field. The smp_load_acquire() / smp_store_release() barriers are marginally cleaner.

2024-10-10	net-shapers: implement NL get operation	Paolo Abeni
	Introduce the basic infrastructure to implement the net-shaper core functionality. Each network devices carries a net-shaper cache, the NL get() operation fetches the data from such cache. The cache is initially empty, will be fill by the set()/group() operation implemented later and is destroyed at device cleanup time. The net_shaper_fill_handle(), net_shaper_ctx_init(), and net_shaper_generic_pre() implementations handle generic index type attributes, despite the current caller always pass a constant value to avoid more noise in later patches using them with different attributes.
