net_sched: sch_fq: handle non connected flows FQ packet scheduler assumed that packets could be classified based on their owning socket. This means that if a UDP server uses one UDP socket to send packets to different destinations, packets all land in one FQ flow. This is unfair, since each TCP flow has a unique bucket, meaning that in case of pressure (fully utilised uplink), TCP flows have more share of the bandwidth. If we instead detect unconnected sockets, we can use a stochastic hash based on the 4-tuple hash. This also means a QUIC server using one UDP socket will properly spread the outgoing packets to different buckets, and in-kernel pacing based on EDT model will no longer risk having big rb-tree on one flow. Note that UDP application might provide the skb->hash in an ancillary message at sendmsg() time to avoid the cost of a dissection in fq packet scheduler.
