Eric Dumazet 076433bd78 net_sched: sch_fq: add fast path for mostly idle qdisc
TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS can be used by few qdiscs.

Idea is that if we queue a packet to an empty qdisc,
following dequeue() would pick it immediately.

FQ can not use the generic TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS code,
because some additional checks need to be performed.

This patch adds a similar fast path to FQ.

Most of the time, qdisc is not throttled,
and many packets can avoid bringing/touching
at least four cache lines, and consuming 128bytes
of memory to store the state of a flow.

After this patch, netperf can send UDP packets about 13 % faster,
and pktgen goes 30 % faster (when FQ is in the way), on a fast NIC.

TCP traffic is also improved, thanks to a reduction of cache line misses.
I have measured a 5 % increase of throughput on a tcp_rr intensive workload.
