From: Toke H=C3=B8iland-J=C3=B8rgensen <toke@redhat.com>

To implement airtime queue limiting, we need to keep a running account of
the estimated airtime of all skbs queued into the device. Do to this
correctly, we need to store the airtime estimate into the skb so we can
decrease the outstanding balance when the skb is freed. This means that the
time estimate must be stored somewhere that will survive for the lifetime
of the skb.

Fortunately, we had a couple of bytes left in the 'status' field in the
ieee80211_tx_info; and since we only plan to calculate the airtime estimate
after the skb is dequeued from the FQ structure, on the control side we can
share the space with the codel enqueue time. And by rearranging the order
of elements it is possible to have the position of the new tx_time_est line
up between the control and status structs, so the value will survive from
when mac80211 hands the packet to the driver, and until the driver either
frees it, or hands it back through TX status.
