      net_sched: add 64bit rate estimators · 45203a3b

      struct gnet_stats_rate_est contains u32 fields, so the bytes per second
      field can wrap at 34360Mbit.
      
      Add a new gnet_stats_rate_est64 structure to get 64bit bps/pps fields,
      and switch the kernel to use this structure natively.
      
      This structure is dumped to user space as a new attribute :
      
      TCA_STATS_RATE_EST64
      
      Old tc command will now display the capped bps (to 34360Mbit), instead
      of wrapped values, and updated tc command will display correct
      information.
      
      Old tc command output, after patch :
      
      eric:~# tc -s -d qd sh dev lo
      qdisc pfifo 8001: root refcnt 2 limit 1000p
       Sent 80868245400 bytes 1978837 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
       rate 34360Mbit 189696pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
      
      This patch carefully reorganizes "struct Qdisc" layout to get optimal
      performance on SMP.
