From: Willem de Bruijn <[email protected]>

When hardware offload is enabled, FQ will forward packets to the
netdevice for pacing. The device has to test that skb->tstamp is
in the future.

Avoid this cost for packets whose txtime has already passed, by
clearing skb->tstamp.

Also disable timer drift logic when offload is enabled, because
time_next_packet can exceed now causing a negative value.

Changes
  v3 -> v4
    - also reset tstamp_type
    - minor: initialize time_next_packet for more obvious correctness

Sashiko, ignore pre-existing issues. In particular, effects on
non-EDT packets and when queue or sk rate limit is set.

Sashiko, pacing offload is an optimization. Ignore that some packets
may not get offloaded, e.g., when txtime is a few usec in the future.

Claude suggests to only call __skb_clear_delivery_time in one location
in fq_dequeue. Unfortunately the separate fastpath location is needed
as that avoids computing now in fq_dequeue for these fastpath packets.
