pkt_sched: sch_qfq: serve activated aggregates immediately if the scheduler is empty
If no aggregate is in service, then the function qfq_dequeue() does not dequeue any packet. For this reason, to guarantee QFQ+ to be work conserving, a just-activated aggregate must be set as in service immediately if it happens to be the only active aggregate. This is done by the function qfq_enqueue(). Unfortunately, the function qfq_add_to_agg(), used to add a class to an aggregate, does not perform this important additional operation. In particular, if: 1) qfq_add_to_agg() is invoked to complete the move of a class from a source aggregate, becoming, for this move, inactive, to a destination aggregate, becoming instead active, and 2) the destination aggregate becomes the only active aggregate, then this aggregate is not however set as in service. QFQ+ remains then in a non-work-conserving state until a new invocation of qfq_enqueue() recovers the situation. This fix solves the problem by moving the logic for setting an aggregate as in service directly into the function qfq_activate_agg(). Hence, from whatever point qfq_activate_aggregate() is invoked, QFQ+ remains work conserving. Since the more-complex logic of this new version of activate_aggregate() is not necessary, in qfq_dequeue(), to reschedule an aggregate that finishes its budget, then the aggregate is now rescheduled by invoking directly the functions needed.
