    net_sched: cls_flow: validate TCA_FLOW_RSHIFT attribute

    syzbot found that TCA_FLOW_RSHIFT attribute was not validated.
    Right shitfing a 32bit integer is undefined for large shift values.

    UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/sched/cls_flow.c:329:23
    shift exponent 9445 is too large for 32-bit type ‘u32’ (aka ‘unsigned int’)
