TCP stack makes sure packets for a given flow are monotically increasing, but we want to allow UDP packets to use EDT as well, so that QUIC servers can use in-kernel pacing. This patch adds a per-flow rb-tree on which packets might be stored. We still try to use the linear list for the typical cases where packets are queued with monotically increasing skb->tstamp, since queue/dequeue packets on a standard list is O(1). Note that the ability to store packets in arbitrary EDT order will allow us to implement later a per TCP socket mechanism adding delays (with jitter eventually) and reorders, to implement convenient network emulators.
