Subject: [RFC PATCH 02/13] net: sched: qdisc_qlen for per cpu logic

This is a bit interesting because it means sch_direct_xmit will
return a positive value which causes the dequeue/xmit cycle to
continue only when a specific cpu has a qlen > 0.

However checking each cpu for qlen will break performance so
its important to note that qdiscs that set the no lock bit need
to have some sort of per cpu enqueue/dequeue data structure that
maps to the per cpu qlen value.
