net/sched: add gkprio scheduler

Gkprio (Gatekeeper Priority Queue) is a queueing discipline that prioritizes
IPv4 and IPv6 packets accordingly to their DSCP field. Although Gkprio can be
employed in any QoS scenario in which a higher DSCP field means a higher
priority packet, Gkprio was concieved as a solution for denial-of-service
defenses that need to route packets with different priorities.

+/*	  Gatekeeper Priority Queue
+ *	=================================
+ *
+ * This qdisc schedules a packet according to the value (0-63) of its DSCP
+ * (IPv4) or DS (IPv6) field, where a higher value places the packet closer
+ * to the exit of the queue. Non-IP packets are assigned a default priority
+ * specified to GKPRIO; if none is specified, default priority is set
+ * to 0. When the queue is full, the lowest priority packet in the queue is
+ * dropped to make room for the packet to be added if it has higher priority.
+ * If the packet to be added has lower priority than all packets in the queue,
+ * it is dropped.
+ *
+ * Without the Gatekeeper priority queue, queue length limits must be imposed
+ * for individual queues, and there is no easy way to enforce a global queue
+ * length limit across all priorities. With the Gatekeeper queue, a global
+ * queue length limit can be enforced while not restricting the queue lengths
+ * of individual priorities.
+ *
+ * This is especially useful for a denial-of-service defense system; like
+ * Gatekeeper, which prioritizes packets in flows that demonstrate expected
+ * behavior of legitimate users. The queue is flexible to allow any number
+ * of packets of any priority up to the global limit of the scheduler
+ * without risking resource overconsumption by a flood of low priority packets.
+ *
+ * The Gatekeper standalone codebase is found here:
+ *
+ *		https://github.com/AltraMayor/gatekeeper
