Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: Functions to report space available in device
 TX queues

This patch adds netdev_tx_avail_queue and netdev_avail_queue which are
used to report number of bytes available in transmit queues per BQL. The
functions call dql_avail which returns BQL limit minus number of
inflight bytes. These functions can be called without txlock, for
instance to ascertain how much data should be dequeued from a qdisc in
a batch. When called without the tx_lock, the result is technically a
hint, subsequently when the tx_lock is done for a transmit it is
possible the availability has changed (for example a transmit
completion may have freed up more space in the queue or changed the
limit).
