Subject: [ 012/110] net: fix multiqueue selection

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 50d1784ee4683f073c0362ee360bfae7a3333d6c ]

commit 416186fbf8c5b4e4465 ("net: Split core bits of netdev_pick_tx
into __netdev_pick_tx") added a bug that disables caching of queue
index in the socket.

This is the source of packet reorders for TCP flows, and
again this is happening more often when using FQ pacing.

Old code was doing

if (queue_index != old_index)
	sk_tx_queue_set(sk, queue_index);

Alexander renamed the variables but forgot to change sk_tx_queue_set()
2nd parameter.

if (queue_index != new_index)
	sk_tx_queue_set(sk, queue_index);

This means we store -1 over and over in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping
