sch_red: Adaptative RED AQM

Adaptative RED AQM for linux, based on paper from Sally FLoyd,
Ramakrishna Gummadi, and Scott Shenker, August 2001 :

http://icir.org/floyd/papers/adaptiveRed.pdf

Goal of Adaptative RED is to make max_p a dynamic value between 1% and
50% to reach the target average queue : (max_th - min_th) / 2

Every 500 ms:
 if (avg > target and max_p <= 0.5)
  increase max_p : max_p += alpha;
 else if (avg < target and max_p >= 0.01)
  decrease max_p : max_p *= beta;

target :[min_th + 0.4*(min_th - max_th),
          min_th + 0.6*(min_th - max_th)].
alpha : min(0.01, max_p / 4)
beta : 0.9
max_P is a Q0.32 fixed point number (unsigned, with 32 bits mantissa)

Changes against our RED implementation are :

max_p is no longer a negative power of two (1/(2^Plog)), but a Q0.32
fixed point number, to allow full range described in Adatative paper.

To deliver a random number, we now use a reciprocal divide (thats really
a multiply), but this operation is done once per marked/droped packet
when in RED_BETWEEN_TRESH window, so added cost (compared to previous
AND operation) is near zero.

dump operation gives current max_p value in a new TCA_RED_MAX_P
attribute.

Example on a 10Mbit link :

tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:1 handle 10: est 1sec 8sec red \
   limit 400000 min 30000 max 90000 avpkt 1000 \
   burst 55 ecn adaptative bandwidth 10Mbit

# tc -s -d qdisc show dev eth3
...
qdisc red 10: parent 1:1 limit 400000b min 30000b max 90000b ecn
adaptative ewma 5 max_p=0.113335 Scell_log 15
