Subject: [49/90] sch_sfq: fix sfq_enqueue()

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit e1738bd9cecc5c867b0e2996470c1ff20f66ba79 ]

commit 8efa88540635 (sch_sfq: avoid giving spurious NET_XMIT_CN signals)
forgot to call qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() to signal upper levels that a
packet (from another flow) was dropped, leading to various problems.

With help from Michal Soltys and Michal Pokrywka, who did a bisection.
