Add the new sch_rr qdisc for multiqueue network device support. Allow
sch_prio and sch_rr to be compiled with or without multiqueue hardware
support.
sch_rr is part of sch_prio, and is referenced from MODULE_ALIAS. This
was done since sch_prio and sch_rr only differ in their dequeue
routine.

Add the multiqueue hardware device support API to the core network
stack. Allow drivers to allocate multiple queues and manage them at
the netdev level if they choose to do so.
Added a new field to sk_buff, namely queue_mapping, for drivers to
know which tx_ring to select based on OS classification of the flow.

Changes :
- netif_queue_stopped need not be called inside qdisc_restart as
it has been called already in qdisc_run() before the first skb
is sent, and in __qdisc_run() after each intermediate skb is
sent (note : we are the only sender, so the queue cannot get
stopped while the tx lock was got in the ~LLTX case).
- BUG_ON((int) q->q.qlen < 0) was a relic from old times when -1
meant more packets are available, and __qdisc_run used to loop
when qdisc_restart() returned -1. During those days, it was
necessary to make sure that qlen is never less than zero, since
__qdisc_run would get into an infinite loop if no packets are on
the queue and this bug in qdisc was there (and worse - no more
skbs could ever get queue'd as we hold the queue lock too). With
Herbert's recent change to return values, this check is not
required. Hopefully Herbert can validate this change. If at all
this is required, it should be added to skb_dequeue (in failure
case), and not to qdisc_qlen.

New changes :
- Incorporated Peter Waskiewicz's comments.
- Re-added back one warning message (on driver returning wrong value).
Previous changes :
- Converted to use switch/case code which looks neater.
- "if (ret == NETDEV_TX_LOCKED && lockless)" is buggy, and the lockless
check should be removed, since driver will return NETDEV_TX_LOCKED only
if lockless is true and driver has to do the locking. In the original
code as well as the latest code, this code can result in a bug where
if LLTX is not set for a driver (lockless == 0) but the driver is written
wrongly to do a trylock (despite LLTX being set), the driver returns
LOCKED. But since lockless is zero, the packet is requeue'd instead of
calling collision code which will issue warning and free up the skb.
Instead this skb will be retried with this driver next time, and the same
result will ensue. Removing this check will catch these driver bugs instead
of hiding the problem. I am keeping this change to readability section
since :
a. it is confusing to check two things as it is; and
b. it is difficult to keep this check in the changed 'switch' code.
- Changed some names, like try_get_tx_pkt to dev_dequeue_skb (as that is
the work being done and easier to understand) and do_dev_requeue to
dev_requeue_skb, merged handle_dev_cpu_collision and tx_islocked to
dev_handle_collision (handle_dev_cpu_collision is a small routine with only
one caller, so there is no need to have two separate routines which also
results in getting rid of two macros, etc.
- Removed an XXX comment as it should never fail (I suspect this was related
to batch skb WIP, Jamal ?). Converted some functions to original coding
style of having the return values and the function name on same line, eg
prio2list.

When we relinquish queue_lock in qdisc_restart and then retake it for
requeueing, we might race against dev_deactivate and end up requeueing
onto noop_qdisc. This causes a warning to be printed.
This patch fixes this by checking this before we requeue. As an added
bonus, we can remove the same check in __qdisc_run which was added to
prevent dev->gso_skb from being requeued when we're shutting down.
Even though we've had to add a new conditional in its place, it's better
because it only happens on requeues rather than every single time that
qdisc_run is called.
For this to work we also need to move the clearing of gso_skb up in
dev_deactivate as now qdisc_restart can occur even after we wait for
__LINK_STATE_QDISC_RUNNING to clear (but it won't do anything as long
as the queue and gso_skb is already clear).

The current return value scheme and associated comment was invented
back in the 20th century when we still had that tbusy flag. Things
have changed quite a bit since then (even Tony Blair is moving on
now, not to mention the new French president).
All we need to indicate now is whether the caller should continue
processing the queue. Therefore it's sufficient if we return 0 if
we want to stop and non-zero otherwise.
This is based on a patch by Krishna Kumar.

When transmit fails with NETDEV_TX_LOCKED the skb is requeued
to dev->qdisc again. The dev->qdisc pointer is protected by
the queue lock which needs to be dropped when attempting to
transmit and acquired again before requeing. The problem is
that qdisc_restart() fetches the dev->qdisc pointer once and
stores it in the `q' variable which is invalidated when
dropping the queue_lock, therefore the variable needs to be
refreshed before requeueing.

on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
