net_sched: RCU conversion of stab

Browse Source 
This patch converts stab qdisc management to RCU, so that we can perform
the qdisc_calculate_pkt_len() call before getting qdisc lock.

This shortens the lock's held time in __dev_xmit_skb().

This permits more qdiscs to get TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS status, avoiding lot of
cache misses and so reducing latencies.
