[ Upstream commit 57f21bf85400abadac0cb2a4db5de1d663f8863f ]
Netlink attribute parsing in mqprio is a minesweeper game, with many
options having the possibility of being passed incorrectly and the user
being none the wiser.
Try to make errors less sour by giving user space some information
regarding what went wrong.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
