Subject: [PATCH net-next] sch_cake: Make gso-splitting configurable from userspace

This patch restores cake's deployed behavior at line rate to always
split gso, and makes gso splitting configurable from userspace.

running cake unlimited (unshaped) at 1gigE, local traffic:

no-split-gso bql limit: 131966
split-gso bql limit:   ~42392-45420 

On this 4 stream test splitting gso apart results in halving the
observed interpacket latency at no loss in throughput.
