Subject: [PATCH RFC] net: sched: implement TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS for lockless qdisc

Currently pfifo_fast has both TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS and TCQ_F_NOLOCK
flag set, but queue discipline by-pass does not work for lockless
qdisc because skb is always enqueued to qdisc even when the qdisc
is empty, see __dev_xmit_skb().

This patch calles sch_direct_xmit() to transmit the skb directly
to the driver for empty lockless qdisc too, which aviod enqueuing
and dequeuing operation. qdisc->empty is set to false whenever a
skb is enqueued, and is set to true when skb dequeuing return NULL,
see pfifo_fast_dequeue().

Also, qdisc is scheduled at the end of qdisc_run_end() when q->empty
is false to avoid packet stuck problem.

The performance for ip_forward test increases about 10% with this
patch.
