An skb queued in a qdisc can outlive the tunnel it references
through a raw pointer in skb->cb. For example, with igmp_qrv set
to 1 on the relay a tunnel lives for 135s, so a netem delay of
180s on the amt device outlives it; when the tunnel expires and is
freed, the subsequent dequeue triggers a use-after-free in
amt_dev_xmit().

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in amt_dev_xmit+0x2763/0x2e20
  Call Trace:
   amt_dev_xmit+0x2763/0x2e20 [drivers/net/amt.c:1262]
   dev_hard_start_xmit+0x22f/0x620
   sch_direct_xmit+0x12e/0xac0
   netem_dequeue+0x333/0xc50
   net_tx_action+0x35c/0xa60

amt_send_igmp_gq() and amt_send_mld_gq() are only called from
amt_request_handler(), inside the rcu_read_lock_bh() section of
amt_rcv(). amt_request_handler() already has the tunnel the query is
for: it found or created it inside that section. Queuing the query with
dev_queue_xmit() only leads back into amt_dev_xmit(), which strips the
Ethernet header and calls amt_send_membership_query() for that tunnel.

Make that call directly from the two senders instead, the same way
amt_send_advertisement() transmits from the receive path. The query
never waits in a qdisc, the tunnel is only dereferenced inside the
RCU section that found or created it, and nothing is stored in
skb->cb, so no lookup or refcount is needed. Remove the query branch
of amt_dev_xmit(), amt_skb_cb() and struct amt_skb_cb, which have no
users left.

Behaviour changes:
 - The relay's own General Queries no longer pass through the amt
   device's egress path: its qdisc, tc egress (clsact/tcx), the
   netfilter egress hook and packet taps. They are still visible as
   UDP on the underlay.
 - A query that is sent successfully is no longer counted as
   tx_dropped. The old query branch left through the unlock label,
   which counted every sent query as dropped.
 - A query that reaches amt_dev_xmit() on a relay from elsewhere,
   such as a userspace querier, is now dropped at the IGMP/MLD type
   switch. Before, it trusted whatever skb->cb held, and a NULL
   tunnel hit the WARN_ON(1).

v3 (Omar): send the GQ directly from amt_request_handler()'s RCU
  section, instead of storing (ip4, source_port) in skb->cb and looking
  the tunnel up again at dequeue. This also removes the per-query
  tunnel_list walk that Taehee raised on v1, and the v2 window Sashiko
  found in which a re-created tunnel could be matched before its nonce
  and mac were written. Cen agreed in the v2 thread to go this way if
  Taehee is fine with it.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260922214150.13970-1-cenzhang@linux.microsoft.com/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260818164825.63967-1-blbllhy@gmail.com/

Testing: Cen's KASAN reproducer, in which netem holds the General Query
for 160s past a 135s tunnel lifetime, reports the slab-use-after-free
in amt_dev_xmit() on net, and nothing with this patch or with v2
applied. tools/testing/selftests/net/amt.sh passes 5/5 with and without
this patch on a KASAN + lockdep kernel.
