packet_time_ns() calculates transmission time for netem rate shaping.
It adds q->packet_overhead (signed 32-bit int) to len (unsigned
64-bit int).
When userspace configures a negative packet overhead (via
TCA_NETEM_RATE packet_overhead attribute) and an enqueued packet's
length is smaller than the absolute overhead, (s64)len +
q->packet_overhead is negative. Because len is u64, the addition wraps
into an astronomical value (~2^64 - 1). When multiplied by NSEC_PER_SEC
and divided by q->rate, the calculated delay spans hours or days,
causing enqueued packets to be frozen in the qdisc indefinitely and
stalling transmission.
A similar underflow can occur in cell length calculation when
(q->cell_size + q->cell_overhead) is non-positive.
Clamp the effective packet length to 0 if the overhead adjustment
would underflow, and return 0 delay if effective cell length is
non-positive, matching the behavior in sch_cake and sch_tbf.
