The taprio qdisc will need to reconstruct a struct tc_mqprio_qopt from
netdev settings once more in a future patch, but this code was already
written twice, once in taprio and once in mqprio.
Refactor the code to a helper in the common mqprio library.

There is a lot of code in taprio which is "borrowed" from mqprio.
It makes sense to put a stop to the "borrowing" and start actually
reusing code.
Because taprio and mqprio are built as part of different kernel modules,
code reuse can only take place either by writing it as static inline
(limiting), putting it in sch_generic.o (not generic enough), or
creating a third auto-selectable kernel module which only holds library
code. I opted for the third variant.
In a previous change, mqprio gained support for reverse TC:TXQ mappings,
something which taprio still denies. Make taprio use the same validation
logic so that it supports this configuration as well.
The taprio code didn't enforce TXQ overlaps in txtime-assist mode and
that looks intentional, even if I've no idea why that might be. Preserve
that, but add a comment.
There isn't any dedicated MAINTAINERS entry for mqprio, so nothing to
update there.
