net: sched: avoid costly atomic operation in fq_dequeue()

Standard qdisc API to setup a timer implies an atomic operation on every
packet dequeue : qdisc_unthrottled()

It turns out this is not really needed for FQ, as FQ has no concept of
global qdisc throttling, being a qdisc handling many different flows,
some of them can be throttled, while others are not.

Fix is straightforward : add a 'bool throttle' to
qdisc_watchdog_schedule_ns(), and remove calls to qdisc_unthrottled()
in sch_fq.
