Subject: [PATCH] sch_red: fix red_calc_qavg_from_idle_time

Since commit a4a710c4a7490587 (pkt_sched: Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to
6) it seems [G]RED are broken in red_calc_qavg_from_idle_time()

This function computes a delay in us units, but this delay is now 16
times bigger than real delay, so the final qavg result is wrong...

Maybe we should use native kernel time services in red ?
(ktime_get(), ktime_us_delta())
