linux: add complexity gate headers to all 8 patches; fix 0003/0007/0008 code issues

- All 8 patches now carry required # CWE-407 / # Defect / # Fix / # Complexity gate
  header blocks per patch file format spec
- linux-0001 (headerdep.pl): header only — code was correct
- linux-0002 (auditsc.c): header + explicit break to prevent ctx->names_list fall-through
- linux-0003 (dev.c): rewrote fix — skip altname loop when format has no percent-d
  placeholder; removes duplicate bounds check from prior draft
- linux-0004 (neighbour.c): header + cleaned up ifdef guards; xarray with fallback
- linux-0005 (component.c): header + existing hash fast-path retained
- linux-0006 (btf.c): header + fixed cache hit path — no longer re-runs
  btf_find_by_name_kind on hit; uses stored btf_id directly
- linux-0007 (pktgen.c): rewrote fix — replaced xa_for_each (O(N)) with dual
  DECLARE_HASHTABLE: dev_ht (by dev*) and name_ht (by jhash(ifname))
- linux-0008 (taskstats.c): fixed mixed list_for_each_entry/hash_for_each_possible
  syntax; clean replacement of duplicate-pid list scan with hash_for_each_possible
- Combined patch: linux-0001..0008-hashstruct.patch (8 defects, was missing 0004)
- outreach/linux.md: updated to 8 defects, corrected numbering (0001=headerdep,
  0002=auditsc, 0003=dev, 0004=neighbour, 0005-0008 as before)

# UNDF: UNDF-2026-000000144
# CWE-407: Algorithmic Complexity — O(D×depth) → O(D) in scripts/headerdep.pl detect_cycles()
#
# Defect: grep{} membership test inside the BFS expansion loop is O(depth) per node visit.
# With D headers and average chain depth K, total cost is O(D × K²) in the worst case.
#
# Fix: carry a parallel Perl hash alongside each path array. Membership check
# becomes exists{} — O(1) average. Total cost: O(D × K).
#
# Complexity gate (simulated — scripts/headerdep.pl is a build tool, not runtime kernel code):
# D=500 headers, max depth=50: slow O(D×K²)≈625000 ops, fast O(D×K)≈25000 ops → 25× speedup.
# At D=1000, K=100: 100× speedup. 20× is a conservative lower bound for realistic header trees.
