CAKE accepts signed overhead values and stores them in an s16, but the
adjusted packet length calculation uses unsigned arithmetic.  A negative
effective length can therefore wrap to a large value.

Such configurations make rate accounting depend on integer wraparound
rather than on the packet size userspace intended to model.  A static
netlink lower bound is not enough because packets reaching CAKE can be
smaller than any reasonable manual-overhead allowance.

You are awesome, thank you!
