PATCH v2 1/1 net/sched: add skbprio scheduler

net/sched: add skbprio scheduler

Skbprio (SKB Priority Queue) is a queuing discipline that prioritizes IPv4 and IPv6 packets according to their skb->priority field. Although Skbprio can be employed in any scenario in which a higher skb->priority field means a higher priority packet, Skbprio was concieved as a solution for denial-of-service defenses that need to route packets with different priorities.

v2:
*Use skb->priority field rather than DS field. Rename queueing discipline as SKB Priority Queue (previously Gatekeeper Priority Queue).

*Queueing discipline is made classful to expose Skbprio's internal priority queues.
