Subject: [PATCH] tbf scheduler: TSO support

Hi,

TBF --- Simple Token Bucket Filter --- packet scheduler doesn't
work correctly with TSO on that it slows down to send out packets.
TSO packets will be discarded since the size can be larger than
the scheduler expects. But it won't cause serious problems
because the retransmitted packets can be passed.

So I made the scheduler allow to pass TSO packets:

 - tbf_enqueue() accepts packets with any size if the netdevice
   has TSO ability.

 - tbf_dequeue() can handle the packets whose size is larger than
   the bucket, which keeps tokens.
   Any packet, which may be TSO packet, can be sent if the bucket is
   full of tokens. this may lead that the number of tokens in
   the bucket turns into negative value, which means kind of debt.
   But we don't have to mind it because this will be filled up
   with tokens in a short time and it will turns into positive value
   again.

I'm not sure if this approach is the best. I appreciate any comments.
Thank you.
