From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
When pacing offload is enabled (q->offload_horizon > 0),
FQ can dequeue packets early (now < f->time_next_packet).
In this case, the drift calculation (now - f->time_next_packet)
underflows to a large unsigned value.
min(len/2, now - f->time_next_packet) then evaluates to len/2,
incorrectly halving the pacing delay for the next packet.
Fix this by only applying drift compensation if now > f->time_next_packet.
This bug was triggered when flow_max_rate was set on the qdisc
or for non EDT packets (packets with a zero skb->tstamp).
