Subject: [PATCH 8/6 resend] pkt_sched: sch_htb: Break all htb_do_events()
	after 2 jiffies

(resend)

pkt_sched: sch_htb: Break all htb_do_events() after 2 jiffies

Currently htb_do_events() breaks events recounting for a level after 2
jiffies, but there is no reason to repeat this for next levels and
increase delays even more (with softirqs disabled). htb_dequeue_tree()
can add to this too, btw. In such a case q->now time is invalid anyway.

Thanks to Patrick McHardy for spotting an error around earlier version
of this patch.
