I'm thinking of changing enqueue (and maybe later dequeue) API to decouple
the qlen assumption.

Either:
	rc = qdisc->enqueue(skb, qdisc, &my->qlen)
or add NET_XMIT_DUPPED
	rc = qdisc->enqueue(skb, qdisc);
	if (rc < NET_XMIT_SUCCESS) {
		++my->dropped;
	} else {
		my->qlen++;
		if (rc == NET_XMIT_DUPPED)
			my->qlen++;
}
