OK, I see htb did this earlier with ".packets", so it looks like I'm
wrong with this - sorry! (Anyway, it seems to unnecessarily restrict
the way qdisc are working.)

Would it be better for qdisc_enqueue() to pass packet length to caller?

Is it's really needed? Actually, if it's only for stats, I really
can't see the reason why not to get this info old way - before
enqueing? (And this could be not enough if we want packets count
like in htb.)

qdisc_enqueue recalculates packet size if inner qdisc has size table  
set, so qdisc_pkt_len might return different length after  
qdisc_enqueue than what it was before.
