[PATCH net-next] net/sched: sch_cake: skip clearing unused tins during rate adjustment

When cake_configure_rates() is called from the dequeue path with
rate_adjust=true, it only needs to update the rate parameters. The
loop that clears the unused tins is both unnecessary and harmful in
this path:

 - cake_clear_tin() overwrites q->cur_tin and q->cur_flow, which are
   actively used by cake_dequeue(), corrupting the dequeue state.
 - iterating over the unused tins and their internal queues to purge
   packets adds needless overhead to the hot path.

Skip the entire loop when rate_adjust is set, as neither
cake_clear_tin() nor the mtu_time update are needed when only the
rate changes.
