We have helper routines to support nested attribute addition into
netlink buffer: use them instead of open coding.
Use addattr_nest_compat()/addattr_nest_compat_end() where appropriate.

This patch adapts the tc command line interface to allow bandwidth limits
to be specified as a percentage of the interface's capacity.
Adding this functionality requires passing the specified device string to
each class/qdisc which changes the prototype for a couple of functions: the
.parse_qopt and .parse_copt interfaces. The device string is a required
parameter for tc-qdisc and tc-class, and when not specified, the kernel
returns ENODEV. In this patch, if the user tries to specify a bandwidth
percentage without naming the device, we return an error from userspace.

This big patch was compiled by vimgrepping for memset calls and changing
to C99 initializer if applicable. One notable exception is the
initialization of union bpf_attr in tc/tc_bpf.c: changing it would break
for older gcc versions (at least <=3.4.6).
Calls to memset for struct rtattr pointer fields for parse_rtattr*()
were just dropped since they are not needed.
The changes here allowed the compiler to discover some unused variables,
so get rid of them, too.

This patch adds detailed documentation for HFSC scheduler. It roughly
follows HFSC paper, but tries to not rely too much on math side of things.
Post-paper/Linux specific subjects (timer resolution, ul service curve, etc.)
are also discussed.
I've read it many times over, but it's a lengthy chunk of text - so try
to be understanding in case I made some mistakes.
tc-hfsc(7): explains algorithm in detail (very long)
tc-hfsc(8): explains command line options briefly
tc(8): adds references to new man pages
Makefile: adds man7 directory to install target
q_hfsc.c: minimal help text changes, consistency with tc-hfsc(8)

[IPROUTE]: Replace "usec" by "time" in function names
Rename functions containing "usec" since they don't necessarily return
usec units anymore.

[IPROUTE]: Introduce TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC to represent internal clock resolution
Introduce TIME_UNITS_PER_SEC and conversion functions between internal
resolution and resolution expected by the kernel (currently implemented as
NOPs, only needed by HFSC, which currently always uses microseconds).
