packet: check for ndo_select_queue during queue selection
Mathias reported that on an AMD Geode LX embedded board (ALiX) with ath9k driver PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, introduced in commit d346a3fae3ff ("packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option"), triggers a WARN_ON() coming from the driver itself via 066dae93bdf ("ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix queue stopping/waking"). The reason why this happened is that ndo_select_queue() call is not invoked from direct xmit path i.e. for ieee80211 subsystem that sets queue and TID (similar to 802.1d tag) which is being put into the frame through 802.11e (WMM, QoS). If that is not set, pending frame counter for e.g. ath9k can get messed up. So the WARN_ON() in ath9k is absolutely legitimate. Generally, the hw queue selection in ieee80211 depends on the type of traffic, and priorities are set according to ieee80211_ac_numbers mapping; working in a similar way as DiffServ only on a lower layer, so that the AP can favour frames that have "real-time" requirements like voice or video data frames. Therefore, check for presence of ndo_select_queue() in netdev ops and, if available, invoke it with a fallback handler to __packet_pick_tx_queue(), so that driver such as bnx2x, ixgbe, or mlx4 can still select a hw queue for transmission in relation to the current CPU while e.g. ieee80211 subsystem can make their own choices.
