Subject: [PATCH net-next] net_sched: allow configuring default qdisc

Since 3.12 it has been possible to configure the default queuing discipline
via sysctl. This patch adds ability to configure the default queue discipline
in kernel configuration. This is useful for environments where configuring
the value from userspace is difficult to manage.

The default is still the same as before (pfifo_fast) and it is possible
to change after kernel init with sysctl.  This is analagous to how
TCP congestion control is configured.
