fq_dequeue() has a complex logic to find packets in one of the 3 bands.
As Neal found out, it is possible that one band has a deficit smaller
than its weight. fq_dequeue() can return NULL while some packets are
elligible for immediate transmit.
In this case, more than one iteration is needed to refill pband->credit.
With default parameters (weights 589824 196608 65536) bug can trigger
if large BIG TCP packets are sent to the lowest priority band.
