Eric Dumazet ffe4ccd359 net: add net.core.qdisc_max_burst
In blamed commit, I added a check against the temporary queue
built in __dev_xmit_skb(). Idea was to drop packets early,
before any spinlock was acquired.

if (unlikely(defer_count > READ_ONCE(q->limit))) {
	kfree_skb_reason(skb, SKB_DROP_REASON_QDISC_DROP);
	return NET_XMIT_DROP;
}

It turned out that HTB Qdisc has a zero q->limit.
HTB limits packets on a per-class basis.
Some of our tests became flaky.

Add a new sysctl : net.core.qdisc_max_burst to control
how many packets can be stored in the temporary lockless queue.

Also add a new QDISC_BURST_DROP drop reason to better diagnose
future issues.

Thanks Neal !
