I added the main reference to the code. I am going to give you all the
pointers on this research, mainly recent congestion control proposals
that include pacing.

I removed that select in Kconfig, I agree it doesn't make sense at all,
for portability. However, pacing works with 1ms resolution, so maybe
a "depends HZ_1000" is still required. (How do you run 1ms timers with
HZ!=1000?)
The HZ refers to time slices per second mostly for user space - e.g.
how often to task switch.
