====================
sched: convert queues to single-linked list

During Netfilter Workshop 2016 Eric Dumazet pointed out that qdisc
schedulers use doubly-linked lists, even though single-linked list
would be enough.

The double-linked skb lists incur one extra write on enqueue/dequeue
operations (to change ->prev pointer of next list elem).

This series converts qdiscs to single-linked version, listhead
maintains pointers to first (for dequeue) and last skb (for enqueue).

Most qdiscs don't queue at all and instead use a leaf qdisc (typically
pfifo_fast) so only a few schedulers needed changes.

I briefly tested netem and htb and they seemed fine.

UDP_STREAM netperf with 64 byte packets via veth+pfifo_fast shows
a small (~2%) improvement.
