Subject: [PATCH 3.12 23/83] pkt_sched: fq: change classification of control packets

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit 2abc2f070eb30ac8421554a5c32229f8332c6206 ]

Initial sch_fq implementation copied code from pfifo_fast to classify
a packet as a high prio packet.

This clashes with setups using PRIO with say 7 bands, as one of the
band could be incorrectly (mis)classified by FQ.

Packets would be queued in the 'internal' queue, and no pacing ever
happen for this special queue.
