[Codel] [PATCH 2/2] codel: eliminate maxpacket as an inner bound

[Dave Taht]

As there is always at least one packet in the device driver or
rate limiter, the maxpacket bound (an artifact of the ns2 code)
is unneeded.

Also: in the case of TSO/GSO/GRO, it can scale well above
(to 64k) what codel's designers intended.

Someday the maxpacket variable could be eliminated entirely,
but for now it is a useful indicator of "oops, I didn't turn
off tso/gso/gro somewhere".
