I think it's good to be paranoid with this kind of things. I do,
however, think it should be safe to use. The cookie is extracted from
the netlink attribute directly and its length is verified with the
nla_policy [1]. So nothing that comes into the kernel should be larger
than TC_COOKIE_MAX_SIZE.

I guess if there is some previous bug that allows for the size to get
corrupted, then this might happen but doing those kind of checks in the
fast path seems a bit excessive. For example, Ilya argued in v2 [2] that
we should avoid zeroing "u8 cookie_data[TC_COOKIE_MAX_SIZE]" to safe the
unneeded cycles.
