net/sched: add skbprio scheduler
Skbprio (SKB Priority Queue) is a queueing discipline that prioritizes packets
according to their skb->priority field. Under congestion, already-enqueued lower
priority packets will be dropped to make space available for higher priority
packets. Skbprio was conceived as a solution for denial-of-service defenses that
need to route packets with different priorities as a means to overcome DoS
attacks.
v5
*Do not reference qdisc_dev(sch)->tx_queue_len for setting limit. Instead set
default sch->limit to 64.
v4
*Drop Documentation/networking/sch_skbprio.txt doc file to move it to tc man
page for Skbprio, in iproute2.
v3
*Drop max_limit parameter in struct skbprio_sched_data and instead use
sch->limit.
*Reference qdisc_dev(sch)->tx_queue_len only once, during initialisation for
qdisc (previously being referenced every time qdisc changes).
*Move qdisc's detailed description from in-code to Documentation/networking.
*When qdisc is saturated, enqueue incoming packet first before dequeueing
lowest priority packet in queue - improves usage of call stack registers.
*Introduce and use overlimit stat to keep track of number of dropped packets.
v2
*Use skb->priority field rather than DS field. Rename queueing discipline as
SKB Priority Queue (previously Gatekeeper Priority Queue).
*Queueing discipline is made classful to expose Skbprio's internal priority
queues.
