net/sched: sch_cake: fix autorate reconfiguration throttling

Browse source

CAKE's autorate-ingress path intends to limit shaper reconfiguration to
once per 250 ms, but last_reconfig_time is only checked and never updated.
Since the field stays zero, every qualifying capacity-estimate window can
call cake_reconfigure(), causing avoidable rate churn and scheduler work
under bursty traffic.

Store the current timestamp when autorate actually reconfigures the qdisc
so the guard enforces the intended interval.
