Toke Høiland-Jørgensen 097b065b5c fq.h: Port memory limit mechanism from fq_codel
The reusable fairness queueing implementation (fq.h) lacks the memory
usage limit that the fq_codel qdisc has. This means that small
devices (e.g. WiFi routers) can run out of memory when flooded with a
large number of packets. This ports the memory limit feature from
fq_codel to fq.h.

Michal Kazior b43e7199a9 fq: split out backlog update logic
mac80211 (which will be the first user of the
fq.h) recently started to support software A-MSDU
aggregation. It glues skbuffs together into a
single one so the backlog accounting needs to be
more fine-grained.

To avoid backlog sorting logic duplication split
it up for re-use.

Michal Kazior 557fc4a098 fq: add fair queuing framework
This works on the same implementation principle as
codel*.h, i.e. there's a generic header with
structures and macros and a implementation header
carrying function definitions to include in given,
e.g. driver or module.

The fairness logic comes from
net/sched/sch_fq_codel.c but is generalized so it
is more flexible and easier to re-use.
