Subject: [PATCH] hfsc: ensure class is added to eltree exactly once

Intent is to insert the class into the eligible tree when first packet
is enqueued (its removed from list when class becomes empty again).

Checking for a size of 1 is problematic:

1. child qdisc might have segmented the skb, in which backlog can transition
from 0 to a value > 1.

In this case we can't dequeue anymore as this class is not in the tree.

2. some qdiscs like fq_codel can purge their backlogs when internal
limits are hit and update the parent qlen via qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog(),
so its possible that we end up with a length of 1 after enqueue for a class
that was already on the active list.

If this happens, we add the same class twice (which then results
in qdisc dequeue soft lockup).

Fix it by testing the length before we attempt to enqueue to child qdisc,
if enqueue operation is successful and old qlen was 0, then the
class was not yet inserted into eltree.

 This was found while looking at Miroslav Kratochvil bug report
 but I don't think this fixes his case (I could trigger the 2nd case
 above w. fq_codel+really_stupid_config_knobs but I got softlockup
 which did not match his report).
