net: sched: remove remaining uses for qdisc_qlen in xmit path
sch_direct_xmit() uses qdisc_qlen as a return value but all call sites of the routine only check if it is zero or not. Simplify the logic so that we don't need to return an actual queue length value. This introduces a case now where sch_direct_xmit would have returned a qlen of zero but now it returns true. However in this case all call sites of sch_direct_xmit will implement a dequeue() and get a null skb and abort. This trades tracking qlen in the hotpath for an extra dequeue operation. Overall this seems to be good for performance. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.fastabend@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
