Change the rate table calc of transmit cost to use upper bound value.

Patrick McHardy, Cite: 'its better to overestimate than underestimate
to stay in control of the queue'.

Illustrating the rate table array:
 Legend description
   rtab[x]   : Array index x of rtab[x]
   xmit_sz   : Transmit size contained in rtab[x] (normally transmit time)
   maps[a-b] : Packet sizes from a to b, will map into rtab[x]

Current/old rate table mapping (cell_log:3):
 rtab[0]:=xmit_sz:0  maps[0-7]
 rtab[1]:=xmit_sz:8  maps[8-15]
 rtab[2]:=xmit_sz:16 maps[16-23]
 rtab[3]:=xmit_sz:24 maps[24-31]
 rtab[4]:=xmit_sz:32 maps[32-39]
 rtab[5]:=xmit_sz:40 maps[40-47]
 rtab[6]:=xmit_sz:48 maps[48-55]

New rate table mapping, with kernel cell_align support.
 rtab[0]:=xmit_sz:8  maps[0-8]
 rtab[1]:=xmit_sz:16 maps[9-16]
 rtab[2]:=xmit_sz:24 maps[17-24]
 rtab[3]:=xmit_sz:32 maps[25-32]
 rtab[4]:=xmit_sz:40 maps[33-40]
 rtab[5]:=xmit_sz:48 maps[41-48]
 rtab[6]:=xmit_sz:56 maps[49-56]

New TC util on a kernel WITHOUT support for cell_align
 rtab[0]:=xmit_sz:8 maps[0-7]
 rtab[1]:=xmit_sz:16 maps[8-15]
 rtab[2]:=xmit_sz:24 maps[16-23]
 rtab[3]:=xmit_sz:32 maps[24-31]
 rtab[4]:=xmit_sz:40 maps[32-39]
 rtab[5]:=xmit_sz:48 maps[40-47]
 rtab[6]:=xmit_sz:56 maps[48-55]
