mac80211: implement codel on fair queuing flows
There is no other limit other than a global packet count limit when using software queuing. This means a single flow queue can grow insanely long. This is particularly bad for TCP congestion algorithms which requires a little more sophisticated frame dropping scheme than a mere headdrop on limit overflow. Hence apply (a slighly modified, to fit the knobs) CoDel5 on flow queues. This improves TCP convergence and stability when combined with wireless driver which keeps its own tx queue/fifo at a minimum fill level for given link conditions.
