Reject requests with negative latency or jitter.
A negative value added to current timestamp (u64) wraps
to an enormous time_to_send, disabling dequeue.
The original UAPI used u32 for these values; the conversion to 64-bit
time values via TCA_NETEM_LATENCY64 and TCA_NETEM_JITTER64
allowed signed values to reach the kernel without validation.
Jitter is already silently clamped by an abs() in netem_change();
that abs() can be removed in a follow-up once this rejection is in
place.
Fixes: 99803171ef ("netem: add uapi to express delay and jitter in nanoseconds")
