Revision v7 of 2 in this series; 1 review trailer.

The Fix:
cake and fq_codel run an optional external classifier from their enqueue
path and then compute the flow hash inside the helper. Have the helper
return the filter's overrides (cake) or a 1-based flow index or a request
to hash (fq_codel) instead, so the caller owns the flow selection.

This is preparation for the accounting changes that follow. Packet
classification and flow selection are unchanged.
