pkt_sched: fq: rate limiting improvements

FQ rate limiting suffers from two problems, reported
by Steinar :

1) FQ enforces a delay when flow quantum is exhausted in order
to reduce cpu overhead. But if packets are small, current
delay computation is slightly wrong, and observed rates can
be too high.

Steinar had this problem because he disabled TSO and GSO,
and default FQ quantum is 2*1514.

(Of course, I wish recent TSO auto sizing changes will help
to not having to disable TSO in the first place)

2) maxrate was not used for forwarded flows (skbs not attached
to a socket)

Tested:

tc qdisc add dev eth0 root est 1sec 4sec fq maxrate 8Mbit
netperf -H lpq84 -l 1000 &
sleep 10 ; tc -s qdisc show dev eth0
qdisc fq 8003: root refcnt 32 limit 10000p flow_limit 100p buckets 1024
 quantum 3028 initial_quantum 15140 maxrate 8000Kbit
 Sent 16819357 bytes 11258 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
