One "regression" is it is now not possible to disable BQL at compile time,
because CONFIG_BQL can't be set to "n" via usual ways.

Description and patch below. Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] net: Allow users to set CONFIG_BQL=n

Commit 114cf580 (bql: Byte queue limits) added new config option without
description, which means neither `make oldconfig` nor `make menuconfig`
ask for it -- the option is simply set to default y automatically.

Make the option actually configurable via adding stub description.
