This seems to be due to be caused by act_mirred returning TC_ACT_STOLEN,
which is translated to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS within prio, causing HTB to
increase the q.qlen counter and activating the class despite no packet
beeing queued.

Jamal, we can't return NET_XMIT_SUCCESS unless we've really queued the
packet. I can't remeber the reason why this is done, could you remind
me?
