Actually, I was just about to send take 2...

pkt_sched: Simplify dev_requeue_skb and dequeue_skb

qdisc->requeue was planned to universally replace all requeuing code,
but at the top level we never requeue more than one skb, so qdisc->
gso_skb is enough for this. qdisc->requeue would be used on the lower
levels only for one level deep requeuing (like in sch_hfsc) after
finishing all the changes.
