Eric Dumazet 218af599fa tcp: internal implementation for pacing
BBR congestion control depends on pacing, and pacing is
currently handled by sch_fq packet scheduler for performance reasons,
and also because implemening pacing with FQ was convenient to truly
avoid bursts.

However there are many cases where this packet scheduler constraint
is not practical.
- Many linux hosts are not focusing on handling thousands of TCP
  flows in the most efficient way.
- Some routers use fq_codel or other AQM, but still would like
  to use BBR for the few TCP flows they initiate/terminate.

This patch implements an automatic fallback to internal pacing.

Pacing is requested either by BBR or use of SO_MAX_PACING_RATE option.

If sch_fq happens to be in the egress path, pacing is delegated to
the qdisc, otherwise pacing is done by TCP itself.

One advantage of pacing from TCP stack is to get more precise rtt
estimations, and less work done from TX completion, since TCP Small
queue limits are not generally hit. Setups with single TX queue but
many cpus might even benefit from this.

Note that unlike sch_fq, we do not take into account header sizes.
Taking care of these headers would add additional complexity for
no practical differences in behavior.

Some performance numbers using 800 TCP_STREAM flows rate limited to
~48 Mbit per second on 40Gbit NIC.

If MQ+pfifo_fast is used on the NIC :

As expected, number of interrupts per second is very different.
