The current code computes itself the QoS policy to choose which frame
should be sent. However, firmware already do that job. Firmware would
prefer to have packets in every queues and be able to choose itself
which queue to use.

So, this patch sort the queues from the emptiest to the fulliest (thanks
to the pending frames counter introduced a few commits earlier). It send
frame to the least full queue.

However, we continue to be careful with frames that have to be sent
after a dtim ("cab": Content After (DTIM) Beacon).

So, this patch splits AC queues in two skb_queues: one for normal frames
and another for cab frames. It cares to send frames from CAB skb_queue
if appropriate.

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.
