[PATCH v2 net-next] net_sched: more precise pkt_len computation

From: Eric Dumazet <redacted>

One long standing problem with TSO/GSO/GRO packets is that skb->len
doesn't represent a precise amount of bytes on wire.

Headers are only accounted for the first segment.
For TCP, thats typically 66 bytes per 1448 bytes segment missing,
an error of 4.5 % for normal MSS value.

As consequences :

1) TBF/CBQ/HTB/NETEM/... can send more bytes than the assigned limits.
2) Device stats are slightly under estimated as well.

Fix this by taking account of headers in qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->pkt_len
computation.

Packet schedulers should use qdisc pkt_len instead of skb->len for their
bandwidth limitations, and TSO enabled devices drivers could use pkt_len
if their statistics are not hardware assisted, and if they don't scratch
skb->cb[] first word.

Both egress and ingress paths work, thanks to commit fda55eca5a
(net: introduce skb_transport_header_was_set()) : If GRO built
a GSO packet, it also set the transport header for us.
