Eric Dumazet aa3e219997 net_sched: sch_sfq: fix allot handling
When deploying SFQ/IFB here at work, I found the allot management was
pretty wrong in sfq, even changing allot from short to int...

We should init allot for each new flow, not using a previous value found
in slot.

Before patch, I saw bursts of several packets per flow, apparently
denying the default "quantum 1514" limit I had on my SFQ class.

class sfq 11:1 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 7p requeues 0 
 allot 11546 

class sfq 11:46 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 1p requeues 0 
 allot -23873 

class sfq 11:78 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 5p requeues 0 
 allot 11393 

After patch, better fairness among each flow, allot limit being
respected, allot is positive :

class sfq 11:e parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 86) 
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 86 
 allot 596 

class sfq 11:94 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 0 
 allot 1468 

class sfq 11:a4 parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 4p requeues 0 
 allot 650 

class sfq 11:bb parent 11: 
 (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) 
 backlog 0b 3p requeues 0 
 allot 596
