[PATCH net-next v2] net: dqs: introduce IFF_NO_BQL private flag for non-BQL drivers

[PATCH net-next v2] net: dqs: introduce IFF_NO_BQL private flag for non-BQL drivers

[Jason Xing]

From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@tencent.com>

Since commit 74293ea1c4db6 ("net: sysfs: Do not create sysfs for non
BQL device") limits the non-BQL driver not creating byte_queue_limits
directory, I found there is one exception, namely, virtio-net driver,
which should also be limited in netdev_uses_bql(). Let me give it a
try first.

I decided to introduce a NO_BQL bit because:
1) it can help us limit virtio-net driver for now.
2) if we found another non-BQL driver, we can take it into account.
3) we can replace all the driver meeting those two statements in
netdev_uses_bql() in future.

For now, I would like to make the first step to use this new bit for dqs
use instead of replacing/applying all the non-BQL drivers in one go.

As Jakub said, "netdev_uses_bql() is best effort", I think, we can add
new non-BQL drivers as soon as we find one.

After this patch, there is no byte_queue_limits directory in virtio-net
driver.

1. chose to add the new bit into enum netdev_priv_flags() instead of
breaking the room of device feature.

Sorry for nit but since it's netdevice.h.. can we rephrase the comment
a bit? How about just:

+ * @IFF_NO_BQL: driver doesn't support BQL, don't create "byte_queue_limits"
+ *	directories in sysfs.

No problem. I will revise it as you said. Thanks.
