This patch adds a flag for queueing disciplines to indicate the stack does not need to use the qdisc lock to protect operations. This can be used to build lockless scheduling algorithms and improving performance. The flag is checked in the tx path and the qdisc lock is only taken if it is not set. For now use a conditional if statement. Later we could be more aggressive if it proves worthwhile and use a static key or wrap this in a likely(). Also the lockless case drops the TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS logic. The reason for this is synchronizing a qlen counter across threads proves to cost more than doing the enqueue/dequeue operations when tested with pktgen.
