qdisc->running seqcount operation is mainly used to do heuristic
locking on q->busylock for locked qdisc, see qdisc_is_running()
and __dev_xmit_skb().
So avoid doing seqcount operation for qdisc with TCQ_F_NOLOCK
flag.

Currently pfifo_fast has both TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS and TCQ_F_NOLOCK
flag set, but queue discipline by-pass does not work for lockless
qdisc because skb is always enqueued to qdisc even when the qdisc
is empty, see __dev_xmit_skb().
This patch calls sch_direct_xmit() to transmit the skb directly
to the driver for empty lockless qdisc, which aviod enqueuing
and dequeuing operation.
As qdisc->empty is not reliable to indicate a empty qdisc because
there is a time window between enqueuing and setting qdisc->empty.
So we use the MISSED state added in commit a90c57f2cedd ("net:
sched: fix packet stuck problem for lockless qdisc"), which
indicate there is lock contention, suggesting that it is better
not to do the qdisc bypass in order to avoid packet out of order
problem.
In order to make MISSED state reliable to indicate a empty qdisc,
we need to ensure that testing and clearing of MISSED state is
within the protection of qdisc->seqlock, only setting MISSED state
can be done without the protection of qdisc->seqlock.
There are below cases that need special handling:
1. When MISSED state is cleared before another round of dequeuing
in pfifo_fast_dequeue(), and __qdisc_run() might not be able to
dequeue all skb in one round and call __netif_schedule(), which
might result in a non-empty qdisc without MISSED set. In order
to avoid this, the MISSED state is set for lockless qdisc and
__netif_schedule() will be called at the end of qdisc_run_end.
2. The MISSED state also need to be set for lockless qdisc instead
of calling __netif_schedule() directly when requeuing a skb for
a similar reason.
3. For netdev queue stopped case, the MISSED case need clearing
while the netdev queue is stopped, otherwise there may be
unnecessary __netif_schedule() calling. So a new DRAINING state
is added to indicate this case, which also indicate a non-empty
qdisc.
4. As there is already netif_xmit_frozen_or_stopped() checking in
dequeue_skb() and sch_direct_xmit(), which are both within the
protection of qdisc->seqlock, but the same checking in
__dev_xmit_skb() is without the protection, which might cause
empty indication of a lockless qdisc to be not reliable. So
remove the checking in __dev_xmit_skb(), and the checking in
the protection of qdisc->seqlock seems enough to avoid the
cpu consumption problem for netdev queue stopped case.

As MISSED and DRAINING state are used to indicate a non-empty
qdisc, qdisc->empty is not longer needed, so remove it.

@Vladimir, Ahmad
It would be good to run your testcase to see if there are any
out of order for this version, because this version has used
STATE_MISSED and STATE_DRAINING to indicate non-empty qdisc,
thanks.
It is based on newest net branch with qdisc stuck patchset.
Some performance data as below:
pktgen + dummy netdev:
threads without+this_patch with+this_patch delta
1 2.60Mpps 3.18Mpps +22%
2 3.84Mpps 5.72Mpps +48%
4 5.52Mpps 5.52Mpps +0.0%
8 2.77Mpps 2.81Mpps +1.4%
16 2.24Mpps 2.29Mpps +2.2%
IP forward testing: 1.05Mpps increases to 1.15Mpps

I will start the regression test with the flexcan driver on LS1028A and
let you know tomorrow or so if there is any TX reordering issue.

14 million CAN frames later, I did not observe any TX reordering at all.
