Subject: [PATCH] codel: reduce default maxpacket and reinitialize upon re-entering drop state

From: Dave Taht <dave.taht@...ferbloat.net>

The minimum size packet in a queue is 64, not 256.

Also, as ethtool can be used to remove tso/gso/ufo, the last seen
maxpacket can vary considerably in size (e.g. 64k). So reset it
on re-entering the drop scheduler to the most recent packet size,
and let it grow again naturally.
