Subject: [PATCH 4.14 34/92] net_sched: blackhole: tell upper qdisc about dropped packets

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

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

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@...dex-team.ru>

[ Upstream commit 7e85dc8cb35abf16455f1511f0670b57c1a84608 ]

When blackhole is used on top of classful qdisc like hfsc it breaks
qlen and backlog counters because packets are disappear without notice.

In HFSC non-zero qlen while all classes are inactive triggers warning:
WARNING: ... at net/sched/sch_hfsc.c:1393 hfsc_dequeue+0xba4/0xe90 [sch_hfsc]
and schedules watchdog work endlessly.

This patch return __NET_XMIT_BYPASS in addition to NET_XMIT_SUCCESS,
this flag tells upper layer: this packet is gone and isn't queued.
