This revert commit 46b1c18f ("net: sched: put back q.qlen into
a single location").
After the previous patch, when a NOLOCK qdisc is enslaved to a
locking qdisc it switches to global stats accounting. As a consequence,
when a classful qdisc accesses directly a child qdisc's qlen, such
qdisc is not doing per CPU accounting and qlen value is consistent.

In the control path nobody uses directly qlen since commit
e5f0e8f8 ("net: sched: introduce and use qdisc tree flush/purge
helpers"), so we can remove the contented atomic ops from the
datapath.

v1 -> v2:
 - complete the qdisc_qstats_atomic_qlen_dec() ->
   qdisc_qstats_cpu_qlen_dec() replacement, fix build issue
 - more descriptive commit message

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
