net_sched: SFB flow scheduler

This is the Stochastic Fair Blue scheduler, based on work from :

W. Feng, D. Kandlur, D. Saha, K. Shin. Blue: A New Class of Active Queue
Management Algorithms. U. Michigan CSE-TR-387-99, April 1999.

http://www.thefengs.com/wuchang/blue/CSE-TR-387-99.pdf

This implementation is based on work done by Juliusz Chroboczek

General SFB algorithm can be found in figure 14, page 15:

B[l][n] : L x N array of bins (L levels, N bins per level)
enqueue()
Calculate hash function values h{0}, h{1}, .. h{L-1}
Update bins at each level
for i = 0 to L - 1
   if (B[i][h{i}].qlen > bin_size)
      B[i][h{i}].p_mark += p_increment;
   else if (B[i][h{i}].qlen == 0)
      B[i][h{i}].p_mark -= p_decrement;
p_min = min(B[0][h{0}].p_mark ... B[L-1][h{L-1}].p_mark);
if (p_min == 1.0)
    ratelimit();
else
    mark/drop with probabilty p_min;

I did the adaptation of Juliusz code to meet current kernel standards,
and various changes to address previous comments :

Default flow classifier is the rxhash introduced by RPS in 2.6.35, but
we can use an external flow classifier if wanted.

tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:11 handle 11:  \
        est 0.5sec 2sec sfb limit 128

tc filter add dev $DEV protocol ip parent 11: handle 3 \
        flow hash keys dst divisor 1024

Notes:

1) SFB default child qdisc is pfifo_fast. It can be changed by another
qdisc but a child qdisc MUST not drop a packet previously queued. This
is because SFB needs to handle a dequeued packet in order to maintain
its virtual queue states. pfifo_head_drop or CHOKe should not be used.

2) ECN is enabled by default, unlike RED/CHOKe/GRED
