We're only making the qdiscs visible, there should be 
no datapath-visible change.

Indeed, I was a little unsure where best to place the helper.
Since mq is always built if mqprio is my instinct would be to
export mq_change_real_num_tx and use it in mqprio. But I didn't 
see any existing exports (mq_attach(), mq_queue_get() are also
identical and are not shared) so I just copy&pasted the logic.

LMK if (a) that's fine; (b) I should share the new code; 
(c) I should post a patch to share all the code that's identical;...
