[PATCH net-next v3 2/2] net: dev: introduce support for sch BYPASS for lockless qdisc

[Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>]

With commit c5ad119fb6c0 ("net: sched: pfifo_fast use skb_array")
pfifo_fast no longer benefit from the TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS optimization.
Due to retpolines the cost of the enqueue()/dequeue() pair has become
relevant and we observe measurable regression for the uncontended
scenario when the packet-rate is below line rate.

After commit 46b1c18f9deb ("net: sched: put back q.qlen into a
single location") we can check for empty qdisc with a reasonably
fast operation even for nolock qdiscs.

This change extends TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS support to nolock qdisc.
The new chunk of code mirrors closely the existing one for traditional
qdisc, leveraging a newly introduced helper to read atomically the
qdisc length.

Tested with pktgen in queue xmit mode, with pfifo_fast, a MQ
device, and MQ root qdisc:

threads         vanilla         patched
                kpps            kpps
1               2465            2889
2               4304            5188
4               7898            9589

Same as above, but with a single queue device:

threads         vanilla         patched
                kpps            kpps
1               2556            2827
2               2900            2900
4               5000            5000
8               4700            4700

No mesaurable changes in the contended scenarios, and more 10%
improvement in the uncontended ones.

 v1 -> v2:
  - rebased after flag name change
