Subject: [PATCH] net: sched: Add support for packet bursting.

This commit implements packet bursting in the NetEm scheduler.
This allows system administrators to hold back outgoing
packets and release them at a multiple of a time quantum.
This feature can be used to prevent timing attacks caused
by network latency.
