Merge branch 'sched-refactor-NOLOCK-qdiscs'

Paolo Abeni says:

====================
sched: refactor NOLOCK qdiscs

With the introduction of NOLOCK qdiscs, pfifo_fast performances in the
uncontended scenario degraded measurably, especially after the commit
eb82a9944792 ("net: sched, fix OOO packets with pfifo_fast").

This series restore the pfifo_fast performances in such scenario back the
previous level, mainly reducing the number of atomic operations required to
perform the qdisc_run() call. Even performances in the contended scenario
increase measurably.

Note: This series is on top of:

sched: manipulate __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING in qdisc_run_* helpers
