net_sched: sch_fq: round of improvements
For FQ tenth anniversary, it was time for making it faster.
The FQ part (as in Fair Queue) is rather expensive, because
we have to classify packets and store them in a per-flow structure,
and add this per-flow structure in a hash table. Then the RR lists
also add cache line misses.
Most fq qdisc are almost idle. Trying to share NIC bandwidth has
no benefits, thus the qdisc could behave like a FIFO.
This series brings a 5 % throughput increase in intensive
tcp_rr workload, and 13 % increase for (unpaced) UDP packets.
v2: removed an extra label (build bot).
Fix an accidental increase of stat_internal_packets counter
in fast path.
Added "constify qdisc_priv()" patch to allow fq_fastpath_check()
first parameter to be const.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
