Subject: [Patch net-next] sch_htb: redefine htb qdisc overlimits

In commit 3c75f6ee139d ("net_sched: sch_htb: add per class overlimits counter")
we added an overlimits counter for each HTB class which could
properly reflect how many times we use up all the bandwidth
on each class. However, the overlimits counter in HTB qdisc
does not, it is way bigger than the sum of each HTB class.
In fact, this qdisc overlimits counter increases when we have
no skb to dequeue, which happens more often than we run out of
bandwidth.

It makes more sense to make this qdisc overlimits counter just
be a sum of each HTB class, in case people still get confused.

I have verified this patch with one single HTB class, where HTB
qdisc counters now always match HTB class counters as expected.
