Subject: [PATCH v2] Speed-up pfifo_fast lookup using a private bitmap

From: Krishna Kumar <krkumar2@...ibm.com>

Maintain a per-qdisc bitmap for pfifo_fast giving  availability
of skbs for each band. This allows faster lookup for a skb when
there are no high priority skbs. Also, it helps in (rare) cases
when there are no skbs on the list, where an immediate lookup is
faster than iterating through the three bands.

Changelog v1 -> v2

1. Moved the bitmap from Qdisc to the private area of pfifo_fast
2. pfifo_fast_reset sets bitmap to zero
3. Undo a line-wrap in initializing a variable
4. Fixed some comments
5. Readability and checkpatch fixes

Thanks,

- KK
